PADAUK
LATIN: PTEROCARPUS
ORIGIN: AFRICAN AND ASIA
Padauks are valued for their toughness, stability in use, and decorativeness, most having a reddish wood. Most Pterocarpus woods contain either water- or alcohol-soluble substances and can be used as dyes.
The Padauk found most often is African Padauk from Pterocarpus soyauxii which, when freshly cut, is a very bright red/orange but when exposed to sunlight fades over time to a warm brown. Its color makes it a favorite among woodworkers. Burmese Padauk is Pterocarpus macrocarpus while Andaman Padauk is Pterocarpus dalbergioides. Padauks can be confused with rosewoods to which they are somewhat related, but as a general rule padauks are coarser and less decorative in figure. Like rosewood, padauk is sometimes used to make xylophone and marimba keys, and guitars. Some padauks are used as herbal medicines, for example to treat skin parasites and fungal infections.

African Black Rosewood
LATIN: DALBERGIA MELANOXYLON
ORIGIN: EASTERN AFRICA

It is an extremely hard wood, strong and stiff, very stable, with a fine texture. Mainly used for custom pool cues, woodwind instruments, knife handles, walking sticks, and carving. African Black Rosewood is considered one of the world's finest woods for turning. It polishes very well to a smooth, lustrous finish
