Is it a bug that Kapok logs don't work in wooden pan crafting?

[Ezra]

Knife to the right of a log => wooden pan (for panning)

Knife to the right of a Kapok log => Nothing.

Other crafting recipes like

Knife above log => wooden club

work just fine.

No authority on the subject but a quick search shows that kapok wood is light and porous, best used as carving material and making dugout canoes.

My guess is that the crafting choice was intentional.

It turns out that a handful of other logs also can't be made into wooden pan. Aged wood and ebony for example (I don't recall the others).

Hmm. That's interesting.

Just realized I misread your first post. I had it backwards (that it couldn't make a wooden club). Sorry about that!

Aged wood makes sense those are planks made from boards.  Ebony wood is very hard irl, making it difficult to carve into a pan.  At least that's the excuse I'll give for its lack of crafting into a pan.

There are aged wooden log blocks, i assume that's what was meant. Though I'm not sure if them being old would be a good or bad thing.

I believe the aged wooden planks can be broken down with a saw back into boards.  Haven't played with them much so not sure if they are only used for path blocks or if there's other options.
