What is 'padauk', you ask?  This wood comes from central and tropical West Africa.  We choose pieces that accentuate its strong orange-red color and show eyecatching grain patterns.  
 
Since a motto of Kairos Inkle Looms is to not only give you easler weaving (our Fingers Free shed opener), but eyecatching asthetics as well, you'll b surprised how often this loom will be seen - and commented on - as your own work of art on display.
 
Although padauk color is known to slowly change to a darker coloration over time, we have applied multiple coats of high grade marine true varnish with UV-resistent additives to give the color added protection.
