Recently we had some visitors to our paulownia plantation. It was their first time with paulownia wood and as always if you place
a dried plank of paulownia in their hands their faces change as if they had seen a magic trick, because of the lightness of the paulownia wood plank.
So the questions begin and this post is about one question that we are asked quite often… How does paulownia nail?
Logically I handed our visitor nails, a hammer and a dried paulownia wood plank, and said see for yourself.

Paulownia wood takes nails easily, and no it did not split or crack.
Finishing – The sap of Paulownia is not gum or resinous based, thus the application of finishing products with various solvents as carriers does not risk any interaction with the timber, contributing to the very good finishing properties of Paulownia products. The timber readily takes stains, estapols and paints with excellent finished surfaces.
Workability – All aspects of carpentry such as machining, nailing, screwing, gluing, sanding, sawing and handling are very user friendly with no splinters, cracking or splitting and excellent take-up of glues and finishes.
