La madera es el material más recurrente de Paul — la sustancia a la que vuelve cuando quiere pensar con las manos. En los años 2000 y 2010 produce decenas de obras en castaño, pino, contrachapado, a veces cubiertas de acrílico rojo o negro, a veces dejadas en bruto con las marcas de la sierra visibles.

Los tótems en madera son tal vez su impulso más arquitectónico: ensamblajes verticales de elementos apilados que se leen como edificios reducidos a un boceto. Algunos llegan hacia el techo; otros permanecen pequeños y densos, caben en la palma de una mano.

Entre las obras en madera hay piezas de ensamblaje policromo — madera unida a papel maché y color saturado — que marcan el puente entre los tótems secos y estructurales y los relieves murales pictóricos de los años 2010.
