Take pine or aromatic cedar and use #1 orange shellac, much easier than trying to find natural orange color wood. It will not be Kioti orange, but the contrast will be there--artistic license and all that.

Lacewood is sort of orange depending on the board. Would also give you an interesting ontracting pattern. Fairly easy to work with. Tough to surface with a hand plane though.

I can't use shellac it has to be all natural woods at least to get close to orange. So they can cut on it. It is for a client that bought six kioti tractors after trying mine out.

I have used lacewood it's more brown then orange. But maybe will ask the client if that is a option

Red Oak.

Pumpkin pine is kinda orange and should be easy to find around your home, it is just really mature white pine

Have you looked at mahogany or teak. They're both soft, but are orange(ish) in colour.

I have mahogany i tried that with a sample and the guys said no.

What about a dye. Aniline dyes are permanent and relatively easy to use. Then the wood can be whatever you have.

I would dye wood if it was going to be cut on. Also the client wants it all natural. Each piece needs to be inlayed 1/2 in thick.

Rosewood maybe.

Looking forward to seeing the finished product. Post some pictures when you get this done.

Rosewood would look good. I will send off a email to him. I thought padauk i hate working with it even with a dust mask on it burn my noise

 

[pickeringchris]

Paduk. Its the only choice.

. I thought padauk i hate working with it even with a dust mask on it burn my noise

I have found using the P100 filters on my 3M dust mask, that not only do I not get any dust, but that I cannot small the wood I'm cutting, such as cedar.

Do you have a solution for this yet? I have a friend who can answer this; just need a day to get in touch with him.

[landedakioti]

I just got a ok for padauk .

 

[JonKioti]

Ok...just got this back from my friend who does better woodwork than me:

Bloodwood, Burmese Rosewood, Padauk

Looking forward to seeing how it turns out.

Cheers,

Jon
