Wood wecognition Wednesday: Padauk

#Woodidentification #padauk #woodworking

In this video we look at Padauk wood. It's fascinating how many natural timbers have vibrant colours like this. This is one of the better known and more popular especially at craft fairs or in high end cabinetry and instrument making. Don't forget to watch out for the secret code and enter the competition to win a pack of Padauk shipped to you free of charge.

As always if you have a specific timber you want help identifying you can send me images on instagram   / wonkyworkshop  . If you want to do this please sand or plane the faces smooth first as it makes it a lot easier.

Scribe used in the video was made by   / simply_orn8   from instagram he has them for sale fairly regularly. I use it a lot as the tungsten carbide tip makes light work of hardwoods...and it looks cool :)

All Padauk in this video and the competition pack was purchased from https://www.yandles.co.uk/
