Padauk is a very dense
As the pine wood ages, with the help of UV from the sunlight it tends to turn more of an orange colour. In a similar way, as Oak oxidises with time, it tends to darken to a very dark brown and in some cases, black.
Wooden furniture and structures are prized for their natural beauty, but over time, they can develop an unsightly orange tone due to exposure to sunlight, chemicals, or age. Fortunately, there are ways to neutralize orange tones in wood and restore its original color.
Osage Orange, or Yellow Wood (Maclura aurantiaca).
At times, the heartwood may contain red streaks. The sapwood tends to be narrow and light yellow in color. Density: Osage Orange is a very hard, heavy, tough, and resilient wood.
Oak will always look more orange when wet. For this particular piece of wood, I ended up going back over it with an almost full-strength stain but wiping it away almost immediately. That worked very well to neutralize those orange wood hues.
Freshly cut cherry wood has a pale orange / pink hue. Since it is a photosensitive wood, as it gets exposed to sunlight it will change into a darker orange / brown color. But the most famous orange-colored wood is osage orange wood.
Mahogany. Sapwood is yellowish-white to pale brown, with heartwood that varies from medium to deep red-brown, and in some heavier woods, a deep, rich red.
Mahogany. Mahogany is an expensive, imported hardwood and varies in color from a medium brown to a deep red brown, depending on its age.
New walnut has a consistent dark-brown color but as it gets older, two changes occur. 1: Unlike maple and cherry, it gets lighter. 2: A rich honey color starts to come through the grain.
Unfortunately the ageing colour is more about the type of oak used rather than the finish. UV light will eventually turn most oak orange.
Pine takes on a pale yellow-orange tone after exposure to sunlight. Most finishes exacerbate the problem leaving wood which ages to a "cigarette yellow" tone. The best way to create a pale bleached effect is to treat with a thin coat of diluted White Wood Dye after sanding.
: the wood of the orange tree used especially in turnery and carving.
Osage orange, (Maclura pomifera), also called bowwood, French bois d'arc, thorny tree or shrub native to the south-central United States, the only species of its genus in the family Moraceae.
Color/Appearance: Heartwood is golden to bright yellow, which inevitably ages to a darker medium brown with time: primarily due to exposure to ultraviolet light. See the article Preventing Color Changes in Exotic Woods for more details. Grain/Texture: Grain is straight, with a fine to medium texture.
Woods with warm undertones will look yellow or red - think Cherry, Mahogany, and Hickory. These woods will work well together, even if they vary in darkness and grain. Cool-toned woods will look a little bit grey, like Ash, Maple, Poplar, or Pine.
The Colors of Walnut Wood
The heartwood of the tree is the innermost part of the tree. In a walnut tree, the heartwood gets down to the nitty gritty with rich colors that include a range of dark browns and light browns with some purplish hues, grays, reddish rays, and dark streaks included.
Mahogany is a reddish-brown color. It is approximately the color of the wood mahogany. However, the wood itself, like most woods, is not uniformly the same color and is not recognized as a color by most. The first recorded use of mahogany as a color name in English was in 1737.
the hard, fine-grained, yellowish wood of the orange tree, used in inlaid work and fine turnery.
Teak is a natural product which can vary in colour from light to dark brown. When left outdoors any colour variations will gradually even out. Teak that has been left untreated and exposed to the elements will weather, changing from an amber colour to a beautiful silvery-grey patina.
To begin with, cherry is light-pinkish-beige and quickly deepens to a salmon-orange hue after a few weeks or months. The wood further deepens in color over a few months to a year, changing into a light-chocolate-red color, before finally settling into a rich dark reddish-brown-maple color after several years.
Comments: Padauk has a very unique reddish orange coloration, and the wood is sometimes referred to by the name vermillion. It's moderately heavy, strong, and stiff, with exceptional stability. Padauk is a popular hardwood among hobbyist woodworkers because of its unique color and relatively low cost.
Osage orange, or bois d'arc or bow-wood, is a native species of southern Arkansas, southern Oklahoma, and northeastern Texas. The wood is ring porous, so it has a coarse grain pattern.
Beechwood has a reddish-brown colour in an untreated, lightly evaporated state. With beech, it is not easy to see growth rings and the structure of the wood is thus very uniform. Beech can be recognised by the dark brown, comma-shaped flecks in the wood.
