Yes, Padauk Changes Colour... (WnW #37)

Описание: A look at how Padauk (and some other exotic woods) change colour over time.

After I published my previous video, in which I built this nightstand using African Padauk (Link here:    • Exotic Wood Nightstand  (WnW #36):  Becaus...  ) there was a lot of chatter on various woodworking forums about how Padauk change colour, what can you do about it, and so on.

So I made this video to share what knowledge I have about colour changing. I show you the new nightstand right beside a similar five year old nightstand so you can see for yourself how Padauk's colour changes over time.

I also show off a few other projects that I have made over the years that also contain Padauk, as well as moving on to show some Jatoba, some Purpleheart, and some Yellowheart. Yellowheart is the only one of those that does NOT change colour.

Yes you can try and slow down the colour changing process in Padauk by using a UV-resistant finish, and by keeping the piece out of sunlight. But it still WILL change gradually over time. My advice is to enjoy it while you have it, and also try to see how it still looks nice even as the colour changes.
