Paldao

Paldao (Dracontomelum dao) is also known as New Guinea Walnut or Dao. The wood is found in Southeast Asia, the Philippines, and Malaysia.  The grain in straight to interlocked  with a moderate to fine texture. The heartwood varies from light brown, grayish, greenish yellow to reddish brown often with irregular dark brown to nearly black banding.

 Paldao is tonally similar to mahogany producing a warm and lively tone.

We milled all of our Paldao sets from 40 year old veneer backing boards. This wood is very stable, well seasoned and ready to use.
