Padauk is a striking tonewood known for its vibrant orange-red colouring, excellent projection, and clear tonal response. Favoured by luthiers for both its appearance and performance, Padauk produces a bright, balanced tone with strong sustain and crisp note definition. Over time, its vivid colour matures into a rich reddish-brown, adding character and depth to the finished instrument.

Features:

  • Species: African Padauk (Pterocarpus soyauxii)
  • Appearance: Bright orange-red to deep reddish-brown with attractive natural grain patterns
  • Tone Characteristics: Clear, bright, and well-balanced with excellent projection and sustain
  • Grain: Typically straight with a medium texture and natural lustre
  • Condition: Suitable for acoustic guitar construction

Applications:
Ideal for acoustic guitar backs and sides, custom luthiery projects, and high-quality instrument building.

Note:
As a natural tonewood, variations in colour, grain, and figure are to be expected. Minor surface checks or natural features may occasionally be present. Photographs are representative of typical appearance.
