Actual projects of doors, cabinets, flooring, and dining tables made from Myanmar teak. Last week, a customer from Guangzhou sent me a set of photos. They were of his mother‘s renovated old house. The flooring was Myanmar teak laid twenty years ago; the door frames and cabinets were made from the same batch of timber. In the photos, the floor colour had changed from the original golden yellow to a warm, deep amber. There were some fine scratches on the surface, but not a single plank had warped, cracked or deformed. The door frames were still tight and true.
Padouk (also known as African Padauk or Vermillion) – scientific name Pterocarpus soyauxii – comes from the rainforests of Central and West Africa. Its most fascinating feature is that the colour grows. When first cut, Padouk shows an almost unreal orange-red to purplish-red, as vivid as freshly picked berries. Then, under UV light, it slowly “ripens” – within weeks it deepens to wine red, then purplish-brown, and finally settles into a rich, dark brown with purple undertones. This process is not fading; it is the wood recording time. No stained timber can ever achieve this kind of dynamic colour evolution.
If you have ever seen a piece of finished Movingui, you will remember it – heartwood ranging from lemon yellow to orange-brown, with a natural satiny sheen and wavy figure on quarter-sawn surfaces, like captured sunlight. Movingui (also known as Nigerian Satinwood) comes from the rainforests of West and Central Africa. It has long been classified as a “niche species”, but its performance and aesthetics are seriously underestimated.
