Yellowheart Thin

Yellowheart Thin

Yellowheart is one of the few hardwoods that doesn’t lose the colour vibrancy that you see after aging.

What is Yellowheart? It is actually Portuguese for ‘yellow wood’ and is a beautiful wood from Brazil. Also known as Pau Amarello, this wood works well with both hand and power tools though areas of interlocked grain or figure can pose challenges. It can have a moderate dulling effect on tools and has an odour that is an acquired taste. As the name suggests, Yellowheart has a rich pale to golden yellow colour that only darkens slightly with age. It is commonly used for accents on furniture, flooring, boatbuilding, and turned objects. A little bit goes a long way with this bright wood!

Using yellowheart

I make a variety of charcuterie boards and use yellowheart in between darker woods! Once oiled, the yellow wood jumps out quite nicely! I will continue using it!

Not super impressed

Bought two boards of yellow heart prior and the were ok. Not great...a few small insect holes in both boards...nature of the beast i guess. Needed 3 more this time around. Even worse. A rotton knot 8 inches long with insect holes in one board and what looks like part of the same knot in another board which has a bad warp and twist. Haven't had problems with other lumber from kjp but this wasn't great.

Hi there, thank you for taking the time to leave a review. We're sorry to hear that your recent purchase of 4/4 Yellowheart Lumber was not up to your expectations. We understand that the presence of insect holes and a knot with rot and warp can be frustrating. We apologize for any inconvenience this may have caused. We have missed the mark on this one and we appreciate your feedback.

We will make sure to add a credit to your account. Thank you for choosing KJP, we hope to do better in the future.
