◎ Technical Information and Physical Properties of Paulownia Wood

Paulownia is a true hardwood, it is light in color and light in weight. It's appearance closely resembles American ash. Physically, it ranks between balsa and polar. The wood is extremely easy to machine and finish. It is dimensionally stable to a fault, does not crack or warp , and will take on and release moisture without damage.     Paulownia is an extremely fast-growing hardwood tree. In the Spring, it will produce leaves of exceptional size,(up to 3' across!), as well as cascades of fragrant blossoms. Foliage will shed after the first good frost.     People use includes ceremonial furniture, musical instruments, containers shoes and more.Two reasons that support these uses are the wood's dimensional stability in general , and its ability to remain stable in relation to moisture. Although the wood is light, it is extremely strong and will not crack or split, even when spikes or nails are driven through. The lumber makes excellent furniture, decorative moldings, siding and laminated beams.
