African Padouk

Belonging to the Fabaceae family, native mainly to Central Africa, it is distinguished by its striking orange-red to brick-red color, which deepens with age, with a relatively coarse texture and straight to interlocked grain. It has high natural durability and good resistance to insects and moisture, alongside being a favorite wood for its distinctive color.

Common Uses: Its striking color and natural durability make it a distinctive choice for furniture and flooring meant to stand out visually, and it is widely used in decorative items and hand-turning for its ease of shaping, while also suiting exterior carpentry thanks to its resistance to moisture and insects.
