Yellow Heart Lumber

• Color: Heartwood color ranges from pale to golden yellow, darkening only slightly with age, and the sapwood is a pale yellow/white.
• Grain: Grain is usually straight, though some figured pieces may have wavy or interlocked grain. Fine uniform texture and a naturally high luster.
• Common Uses: Flooring, furniture, boatbuilding, accents, and turned objects.
• Rot Resistance: Rated as moderately durable in decay resistance, with mixed reports on its resistance to insect attacks.
• Workability: Yellow Heart is normally easy to work with hand or machine tools, though it can be more difficult if interlocked or figured grain is present. Yellow Heart also has a moderate blunting effect on cutters. Glues and finishes well.

We stock SEL&BTR Yellow Heart at our headquarters in Spring, TX, so if you are picking up locally, you are welcome to get as little or as much as you need. If, however, you need your lumber shipped, we require a minimum purchase of 250BF. Please select from the proper hardness and thickness that you need. (Hard Ambrosia Maple is harder to find - and the lumber itself is stronger - hence the price difference.)

Freight rates for dimensional lumber must be calculated (on our end) before we are able to process your order, and this will vary, depending on the amount of lumber you need, distance, etc. Therefore, before placing an order for full length dimensional lumber, we ask that you please send us a message so that we can generate a quote for you.
