Description

Description:
Padauk is a striking and vibrant hardwood, widely appreciated for its bold colouring and excellent tonal characteristics. Ranging from bright orange-red when freshly cut to a deeper reddish-brown as it matures, Padauk offers a distinctive visual appeal combined with strong acoustic performance. As a guitar top, it provides a unique alternative to traditional tonewoods, delivering both character and projection.

Features:

  • Species: Padauk (Pterocarpus spp.)
  • Appearance: Bright orange-red, deepening to a rich reddish-brown with age and exposure to light
  • Grain: Typically straight with a coarse, open texture
  • Tone Characteristics: Bright and resonant with strong projection and clear note definition
  • Workability: Machines and sands well; finishes smoothly, enhancing its natural colour

Applications:
Ideal for guitar tops, luthiery projects, and other musical instruments where both visual impact and tonal clarity are desired.

Note:
Padauk will naturally darken over time, shifting from vivid orange-red to a deeper brownish-red tone. As a natural timber, variations in colour and grain are to be expected. Photographs are representative of typical appearance.
