Yellowheart

Yellowheart.

Heartwood ranges from pale to golden yellow, darkening only slightly with age. Sapwood is a pale yellow/white. Grain is usually straight, though some figured pieces may have wavy or interlocked grain, fine uniform texture, and a naturally high luster. Commonly referred to as Pau Amarelle— which is Portuguese for “yellow wood”—few kinds of wood are as consistent and vibrant yellow as the wood is also sometimes sold as Brazilian Satinwood, though it is not to be considered a true satinwood.
