Thank you for the helpful information! Would Paulownia made a good wood for musical instruments?

My grandfather got caught up in the paulawnia craze in the 90s. It's a cool hobby wood but nothing to waste time harvesting. It takes a lot of care for it to grow as advertised. It's basically a hardwood weed.

I ordered a couple blanks from you guys and got it last week. The blanks look amazing and had a couple others on the go. I expect a 3lb blank. Love that I found a replacement to Swampash.

You left out a lot about the qualities of paulownia wood. You mentioned lightness and softness, but there are others. The wood resists moisture, can make veneers with it, resists insects including termites and is flame resistent. The leaves capture carbon from the atmosphere more than any other tree in the world reducing a farmers carbon footprint. The leaves also absorb great amounts of nitrogen and when the leaves fall and mix with the soil a huge amount of natural nitrogen fertilizer is added to it. Makes a world famous compost for gardeners.

Interesting, I'm going to try growing several acres of these trees and see how it goes

Widely used for bed frames, table and chairs in the Philippines. Very good wood in my opinion and cost-effective!

Light woods are dimensionally stable but not hard wearing. I would use it as a ceiling cladding.

Is this wood too soft for making cabinet face frames?

Thank u all very much

Any chance I can get some for f this from you? My son bought shelves on Amazon made of it and I’d love to use for artwork since it’s so lightweight and won’t be heavy to hang. Thanks either way.

I'm a student of agricultural and my research about micropropagation of paulownia trees (tissue culture)

I'm about to buy a bookcase and found out it is made from Kiri wood (Paulownia). On the site is say everything you've said but said this wood is strong and durable. But, I just watched you dig your nail into the wood. Would you say this wood is strong enough for a bookcase?

How can they call it a hardwood as soft as it is? I wonder if it is strong enough for building houses, etc.?

Can we make door or window frames from this wood, how durable is that, can it bare all load while using as window frame.. Does it bent in sun light. Like popolar
