Never seen Padauk lumber look like this

[smallfry]

I was wondering if anyone out there has cut Padauk lumber and had this color variation appear? A full 1" thick board that I resawed. First, I ran the board through my drum sander to flatten and get an even thickness. Hit both sides with the sander and it looked very uniform in color, nice vertical grain. Once I resawed it, I got this.
It almost looks wet in the dark areas but isn't. The wood was kiln dried. I have resawed a ton of this stuff in the past and never seen this. I will let it sit for a few days to see if it evens out.

I have some unnaturally dark and streaked padouk wood. I’m making some handles at the moment. I will post them when I’m done. It is a very interesting wood.
