Paulownia lumber

a4jng98ziA | Posted in Green Products and Materials on

I was wondering if anybody has any opinion on paulownia being used for exterior trim? I’ve used it once and it seems really soft, and not that durable. It’s great to work with because it’s super straight and clear.
Thanks

    Christopher,
    I have no experience using paulownia lumber; perhaps some other GBA readers will share their knowledge.

    In the meantime, here are two forum threads on the topic:
