Yellowheart Dimensional Lumber

Yellowheart (also called Pau Amarelo) is a vibrant South American hardwood known for its naturally bright, golden-yellow color that stays rich even after finishing. Its uniform grain and fine texture make it a favorite for projects where bold color and clean lines matter. The wood is dense and durable, yet machines and sands well, leaving a smooth, polished surface.

Yellowheart is commonly used for cutting boards, inlays, accent strips, turnings, game boards, jewelry, and decorative woodworking. Its striking, naturally occurring yellow tone means there’s no dye required—just sand, finish, and enjoy the vivid color.

For makers wanting a pop of color and a reliable, easy-to-work exotic hardwood, Yellowheart is an excellent choice.
