The padauks I have built I went darker .... ebony, or ziricote. African Blkwood is another great choice if you can find binding long enough ...
BTW ...

Hello all, Thinking of starting a Padauk build and am stumped on what wood binding to use. What have you used? I'm thinking EI Rosewood to match the fretboard and bridge. I have a lot of maple and cherry but worry about bleeding. Any thoughts, comments, or suggestions? I'd love to see some of your Padauk builds too! Having trouble finding images... Thanks, _Mike |

I built a cocobolo that had a deep orange color. I know its not the same, but it has a similar color range. Anyway, I used osage orange for binding. Really nice contrast while staying in a similar color family. http://bp2.blogger.com/_BlmiHFWc27Y/SBNd6jvXEmI/AAAAAAAABAg/XTGWOagmOLk/s1600-h/CIMG1650.JPG I would think you'd have a similar contrast. -j. |

Padauk will darken, so take that into account. I say Maple, koa, Os Orange...anything light IMHO. j. - I like the rosette with the three off center rings. |

I think using padauk for the bindings as well would look good. Like Hesh's brazilian rosewood with brazilian bindings I believe. Warren. |
