Collection: Yellowheart Planks (Pau Amarelo)
Yellowheart (Euxylophora paraensis), also known as Pau Amarelo or Pau Amarillo, is one of the most distinctively coloured hardwoods in the world. Native to Brazil, it delivers a clean, bright canary-yellow that is almost impossible to achieve with any other natural timber — vivid, warm, and genuinely eye-catching straight off the saw. Over time it mellows slightly to a golden-yellow, but the colour remains bold and distinctive throughout its life.
Beyond its remarkable colour, Yellowheart is a well-behaved, versatile hardwood — moderately hard with a fine, even grain that machines cleanly, finishes smoothly, and takes oils and lacquers beautifully. Whether used as a feature plank, a contrasting accent, or the centrepiece of a design, it never fails to draw attention.
