: I have used Paduak on several boats. It has a good straight grain,

: cedar obviously and hence I used square edge rather than beading
: and coving. The wood when sanded shows as a brilliant orange
: colour but will oxidize quickly to a redish. I have an album on
: my web site that shows the building of a kayak for a customer in
: which accent striping on the deck was with Padauk. The album is
: intitled Bob's Kiska in the album index www.orcaboats.ca

Hi Rod,
Thanks for the info. Did you experence color bleed from the Paduak into the lighter wood ? If so, the picture doesn't show it.
