Padauk?

I think this is Padauk. What do you think? More to come...

It's more red than the crappy cell picture shows.

The crappy cell picture isn't even there...

Padauk is orangy-red, but may have streaks that parallel the grain. It turns very nicely, leaving a orangish powder that gets into everything.

Yup, that looks like Padauk.

Make sure to wear breathing protection when turning AND SANDING padauk.

I wear that stuff all the time. But thank you!

Definitely. I just turned and sanded a single slimline pen out of this stuff and my 3M N95 respirator mask is visibly stained orange. I'm glad that at least 95% of that didn't make it into my lungs...
