Our Souls inc. Posted May 9, 2009 Report Share Posted May 9, 2009 Hi folks. I have some Padouk that I sliced into nice sized inlay pieces. I think the contrast of the reddish wood will look great inlayed into ebony. anyone ever try this combo ? will the woods wear out at different rates ?? Thanks in advance - PGFH Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks in advance - PGFH It is not quite as hard as ebony and so it will wear a little more quickly, but a little epoxy grain fill will prevent that - and fill in the huge canyons it has for pores. Then buff out the board as usual - should look cool. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cSuttle Posted May 16, 2009 Report Share Posted May 16, 2009 Padouk works great for inlays. Check out this board I did for a client. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
