Padouk (Pterocarpus soyauxii), also known as African Padauk, is a premium tropical hardwood sourced from the natural rainforest of Equatorial Guinea. Fresh-cut heartwood features striking bright orange-red. After exposure to air and sunlight, it gracefully ages into deep wine-red and reddish-brown tones. It is naturally durable, termite and rot resistant, easy to machine, glue and polish.
We supply Padouk sawn timber, shipped directly from Equatorial Guinea. Our AD planks are stacked and air-dried locally on-site. Slow air drying stabilises the timber, keeps moisture consistent, reduces warping, splitting and checking. It helps buyers save extra kiln drying cost at their mill.
Padouk works great for solid wood flooring, luxury furniture, cabinetry, interior stairs, exterior decking, joinery, wood turning and musical instrument components.
This year brings major changes for timber exports out of Equatorial Guinea. The government has tightened forestry management rules and suspended new logging permits, with strict controls on raw log exports to protect local forest resources.
Many buyers have noticed: available Padouk log volumes are shrinking. Legal, fully documented Padouk stock from Equatorial Guinea is becoming harder to secure. CITES requirements for Padouk are strictly enforced, and EUDR due diligence is mandatory for any shipments heading to Europe.
Asia buyers remain active. Flooring and furniture manufacturers from Vietnam, China and South Asia are locking in contracts early to secure reliable Equatorial Guinea Padouk supply before quotas get tighter.
As many neighbouring origins face permit delays, our direct sourcing from Equatorial Guinea gives buyers access to premium Padouk with complete legal documentation, traceability and CITES paperwork ready for customs clearance.
