- Padouk - Padouk is a richly coloured dense and heavy timber, varying in colour from dark crimson to brown and red, found in Africa and Asia. It was often used as a furniture timber in India, for making furniture in the Anglo-Indian style. Padouk was also imported into England and France in small quantities in the 18th and 19th centuries, and occasionally English and French examples of furniture made of this timber come onto the market.
