In Response To: Material: Hardwood kayak? (Paul Lueders)

: Questions: What are the working characteristics of the paduak & wenge?

I made a canoe coaming out of paduak (yet to be installed) - beautiful wood but real stiff. soaking and steaming didn't seem to help very much - it took a lot of force to bend my 1/8" or less strips. I ended up bending it in a form with a vise and was surprised that it didn't splinter. I'd recommend it for accents only, and not at sharp bends
