Vibrant and unique, African Padauk sits in a class all its own. Ranging from homogenous grain to ribbon figured or freckled with color, this species adds stunning beauty to any project! Kiln dried and surfaced on two sides. This piece of lumber has nice contrast with black streaks! This is an open grained wood with large pores. There are 5 pin holes on the back face. Must be able to work with!
