Doing an OM in padauk and lutz. Sanding is all done, but I'm afraid I may have lost one of my planes in the padauk pores. They make wenge look like maple.
No other content. Just complaining

I'm close to finishing one myself, and expect my nose will look like I've been snorting paprika when I'm done sanding. Small price to pay for one of the best values in tonewood. |

I looked like I had spent a week in a tanning booth after thinning padauk B&S with a Wagner-ish power planer. Does seem to bend like butter, though. Alex |

I started one with a sapwood streak down the back. I call it "creamsicle". |

I use one of my test mules with a Padauk back for French polish teaching/practice. You can fill the pores beautifully one day and they'll be back in full force the next... |

You're right Alan. I went straight to the Z-poxy. Steve |

Haha. You're a funny guy Steve. Yes. Don't spare the Z-poxy. The Wenge I have used seemed to be more porous . |

 I feel your pain with this New Guinea Walnut. Filled with BRW dust and shellac. Canyons! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |

It's a beautiful wood. Built a telecaster style guitar out of it. Didn't worry about the pores since I just gave it a home made wiped on varnish oil finish. It does smell good but I had a reaction to the dust both skin irritation and respiratory. So wear a mask at least. Sent from my HTC Desire 626s using Tapatalk |

That's interesting, Shaw. I have lots of wood sensitivities and haven't had a reaction to Padauk. I'll be vigilant with it from now on. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |
