Paduuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuke…

 

Yore furst won is correct - Padook.

 

Dictionary.com pronounces it --puh-douk. I'm with the others though and have always said Paduke.

 

I just say, I'm looking for the overpriced redish colored wood…............

 

Down here we get a tubafore and some red die then write paduke on it. waalaa fancy wood

 

I too say Paduke. How did you like working with it?

 

scrollingmom,
I like working with Padauk. It cuts very nice and is beautiful. Its that darn red dust that is a pain.

 

Better late than never: "Padauk is perhaps the most frequently misspelled (and mispronounced) wood species, with Padouk, Paduk, and Paduak being common misspellings. The most common pronunciation is pah-DUKE, it is sometimes mispronounced as Paducah-a city in Kentucky." http://www.wood-database.com/lumber-identification/hardwoods/african-padauk/

 

How about just calling it by it's frightfully English name: The African Coral tree….....

 

I say it like padock. I like the way it looks but I find working with it can be tricky. It seems to break very easily. Like it's brittle or something. Also, like woodworkerscott said, that red dust is crazy. It smells nice though.
I also found the red can sort of 'bleed' into lighter color woods when you put oil on it. I think maybe it's the dust.
Seems to come out kind of blotchy when I finish it too. Maybe I'm not sealing it well enough before I out the varnish on it.
By the way, get some of that red dust off your workbench and wet it down. Looks just like blood.
