Customer Reviews

By Kimberly on 27th January 2024

"Perfect! I ordered this, along with a £50 assorted blanks, and my requests were fulfilled exactly. I'm looking forward to being able to get out and about again so I can come back down to visit Yandles in person, but they are fabulous to work with remotely. I'm always pleased with the quality and variety of the timber they select for me."

"I was quite taken aback when I opened the box to see these huge pieces of wood! Going by the description as 2x2x600 I had no idea that the wood would contain measurements in both metric and imperial! This is my only issue! All the wood is of top quality!"

Workability

Overall Padauk is easy to work; tearout may also occur during planing on quartersawn or interlocked grain. Padauk turns, glues, and finishes well.

Timber Sizing Guidelines

Please note the sizes displayed are approx. Due to timber coming from all over the world starting thicknesses vary up to 1/4 Inch depending on the origin. We use the umbrella guides of 1inch,1.5, 2, 3 & 4inch, but please be aware that all planks are planed one face to highlight the grain and to allow us to see faults which can result in under thickness. This can result in planks being under the thickness depending on the starting thickness. For example, Oak 2 inch is normally 2.1/8th before we plane which allows 2 inch thickness after we plane and 2x2 spindles or blanks. Native Ash is often 17/8th to 2 inch after drying and before we plane. This can plane to 1.75 inch and result in 1.75 inch x2 inch spindles. Whilst we always try and maintain the thickest board possible, sometimes it can be under-size. If you require a finished size of 2x2 we recommend purchasing a larger blank such as 3x3 & machining this back yourself. If you require sawn spindles or blanks please state in the comments section of the order and we can cut to order in our sawmill. Please note this service can take up to 10 working days.
