Information about padauk wood:

This is the name given to wood from trees of various species in the tropical regions of Africa, South East Asia and America as well as South Africa. Of the approximately 20 species (70 species ÄPayer, op. cit.) of the genus Pterocarpus, several are cultivated and used for forestry.
The wood of some species is used industrially. In the narrower sense, the wood of the following species is referred to as padauk wood:

Manila padauk (Pterocarpus indicus) from Southeast Asia
Burma padauk (Pterocarpus macrocarpus) from Southeast Asia
African padauk, Muninga (Pterocarpus angolensis) from Central and East Africa
African padauk, coralwood (Pterocarpus soyauxii Taub.) from Africa

The beautiful bright red color of the African padauk species lasts quite a long time. Over the years, however, the wood darkens and takes on a more brownish tone. The deep 'pores' that characterize the structure of this wood are particularly attractive. Another species provides the precious red sandalwood (Pterocarpus santalinus) and grows in the Philippines, Sri Lanka and India.
