Here's one of our favorite ways to give padauk a cool finish while preserving the natural reddish orange color for as long as possible.

Come along for the ride as we build 3 decorative boxes out of African padauk and give 'em a beautiful glow with this magic recipe: 2 coats of dewaxed shellac, 4 coats of UV-protective water based urethane.

This video goes step-by-step to help you make your projects look their absolute best.
