About
Catalpa wood, Catalpa fargesii, is an excellent species for furniture, carving, turning, and many other uses. It is similar in appearance to Ash until it is surfaced. There is high contrast present between the early and late growth rings. The wood is lighter in density than Ash or Oak but works very well. It is extremely stable and resists rot. Surfaced wood is smooth to the touch and smells slightly like Teak.
