Highly prized in Africa for carvings, boat building, as well as windows and doors, flooring and furniture.

Considered very durable and resistant to bug attack, this wood has been used outdoors for centuries.

Working African Padauk Live Edge

African Padauk live edge slabs are good choices for dining and conference tables, as well as smaller furniture pieces. This wood works well with both hand and machine tool and overall is easy to work. We recommend wearing a mask when sanding and predrilling if needed. When finishing African Padauk be mindful if it’s alongside lighter woods because the brilliant reds can bleed and discolor lighter toned woods. We also highly recommend using a UV inhibiting finish on African Padauk slabs and lumber to reduce its natural tendency to darken to maroon with age. Although this process is unavoidable, it can be slowed down.

Albizia live edge slabs come from a rapid-growing tree that is native to tropical Africa. Live edge Albizia heartwood can vary greatly in color, from browns to reds and sometimes golden yellows, sometimes with a greenish tinge. The sapwood is somewhat wide, clearly demarcated, and white or yellow-white.

These trees usually reach heights of 30-100 feet and when growing in the forest can produce a clean bole up to 50 feet tall. Trunk diameters can be nearly 40 inches. Because of this, Albizia slabs can be fairly long and wide which can create beautiful conference and dining tables, as well as other luxury furniture.
