{"product_id":"padauk-thin-3-8-4-24","title":"Padauk Thin Board | 3\/8\" × 4\" × 24\"","description":"\u003cp\u003eA single padauk thin board, precision-dimensioned for detail work and smaller-scale projects. Padauk is one of the most visually striking hardwoods available - freshly milled boards burst with a vivid, fiery orange-red that deepens to a rich reddish-brown patina over time. Pair that with a straight, coarse grain and excellent workability, and you have a species that's as enjoyable to work with as it is to look at.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 3\/8\" thick × 4\" wide × 24\" long\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSpecies:\u003c\/strong\u003e African Padauk (\u003cem\u003ePterocarpus soyauxii\u003c\/em\u003e)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eOrigin:\u003c\/strong\u003e West \u0026amp; Central Africa\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSold as:\u003c\/strong\u003e Individual piece - exact figure and color intensity will vary\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eWood Characteristics\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eVivid orange-red color when freshly milled; mellows to deep reddish-brown with UV exposure\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eStraight to interlocked grain with a coarse, open texture\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eModerate to high density - durable and impact-resistant\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWorks cleanly with hand and power tools; produces red-tinted dust — use a dust mask\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGlues and finishes well; oils enhance color depth\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003ePopular Uses\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eKnife \u0026amp; Tool Handles\u003c\/strong\u003e - Padauk's bold color and durability make it a standout choice for handle scales, offering both visual impact and reliable grip\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSmall Boxes \u0026amp; Decorative Panels\u003c\/strong\u003e - The vivid grain turns box sides and lid panels into focal points; pairs beautifully with lighter species like maple or ash\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eInlay \u0026amp; Accent Strips\u003c\/strong\u003e - A favorite for furniture inlay, cutting board accent strips, and decorative banding where a pop of warm color is the goal\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eEach piece is one-of-a-kind.
