Yellowheart (Pau Amarello) project block 1-1/2"

Yellowheart is a striking tropical hardwood known for its naturally bright, lemon-yellow colour that adds instant impact to turned projects. Its fine, even grain and high density allow it to cut cleanly on the lathe and hold crisp details, while clear finishes lock in its vivid colour and smooth, polished surface. Yellowheart is an excellent choice when you want bold colour without dyes or stains.

Yellowheart, also known as Pau Amarello, comes from tropical Central and South America, most commonly from countries such as Brazil, Guyana, Suriname, and parts of the Caribbean.

Fun facts about Yellowheart:

Yellowheart’s intense natural colour comes from compounds in the wood itself, not from sap or stain, making it one of the few hardwoods that stays vividly coloured without added pigments.
Because of its hardness and stability, Yellowheart has been used historically for tool handles, inlays, and decorative accents where durability and high contrast are required.
