Yellow-wood is a medium density timber that appears quite stable while drying, particularly once halved or sawn into board form.
As seen in the finished bowl below, it also holds its bark well. Green or dry, the timber machines
very well and once dry, it sands really well too. It takes a good finish, just a little absorbent with oils.
Providing the colour is what you want, it's a great timber to use. In a part of the world where most
timbers are damned hard and heavy, Yellow-wood is a pleasant change.
