The Heritage of Yellowheart
Yellowheart, also known as pau amarello, is native to South America, primarily found in the forests of Brazil. It has been used by craftsmen and woodworkers for centuries, valued for its striking color and strength. This unique wood’s radiant yellow tone gives it a bold appearance, adding a sunny and energetic look to any kitchen.
At Blade & Grain, we honor yellowheart’s history by creating pieces that celebrate its bright color and resilient nature, making each board a statement of quality and craftsmanship.
Sustainable Harvesting of Yellowheart
Yellowheart trees are carefully harvested in their native Brazilian forests with a commitment to sustainable forestry practices. Our suppliers focus on responsible sourcing to ensure the health of the forest ecosystem and support for local communities. By selectively logging mature trees and preserving younger growth, we help ensure yellowheart’s availability for generations while respecting the environment.
Our dedication to sustainable sourcing is part of Blade & Grain’s commitment to providing beautiful, high-quality pieces that are as kind to the planet as they are elegant.
Distinctive Qualities of Yellowheart Wood
Yellowheart wood stands out for its vivid yellow color, which ranges from pale lemon to deep golden tones. The color remains stable over time, resisting fading and maintaining its brightness even with regular use. Its fine, straight grain gives yellowheart a smooth, polished surface that’s pleasing to the touch and visually striking.
Yellowheart’s density and hardness make it durable enough to handle daily use without showing excessive wear. This resilience ensures that yellowheart boards will remain functional and attractive, withstanding the demands of food preparation while adding a pop of color to your kitchen decor.
