Padauk Wood Furniture of Andaman and Nicobar

Padauk wood is a dense and heavy hardwood that is known for its beautiful reddish-orange color. It is native to Africa and Asia, including the Andaman Islands, and is commonly used for furniture making, musical instruments, flooring, and decorative veneers.

One of the unique characteristics of Padauk wood is that its color deepens with age, eventually turning a rich, dark red color. The local craftsmen in the Andaman use Padauk wood to create beautiful and durable furniture pieces such as chairs, tables, beds, and cabinets. They often incorporate intricate carvings and designs that showcase the natural beauty of the wood.
