Canary Wood Thin Board | 3/8" × 4" × 19"

A single canary wood thin board, precision-dimensioned for detail work and smaller-scale projects. Canary wood - also known as Brazilian tulipwood - is one of the most visually captivating species in the hardwood world. Its coloring is unlike anything else: vivid streaks of yellow, orange, red, and pink swirl together in patterns that look almost painted. No two pieces are remotely alike.

Wood Characteristics

• Vivid multicolor figure - yellow, orange, red, and pink streaks in highly variable patterns
• Interlocked to wavy grain with a fine, lustrous texture
• Moderately hard and dense - durable and stable once dried
• Works well with sharp hand and power tools; surfaces sand to a naturally smooth finish
• Finishes beautifully - oils and clear finishes enhance the depth and vibrancy of the color
• Color may mellow slightly with UV exposure; a UV-protective topcoat helps preserve vibrancy

Popular Uses

• Knife & Tool Handles - The multicolor figure makes every canary wood handle a conversation piece - no two will ever look the same, and the hardness delivers reliable performance
• Small Boxes & Jewelry Cases - The vivid streaking transforms box panels and lids into works of art; pairs beautifully with darker species like walnut or wenge for maximum contrast
• Inlay & Decorative Accents - Canary wood’s color complexity makes it a standout choice for decorative inlay, accent strips, and turned or carved ornamental pieces

Each piece is truly one-of-a-kind. Color intensity, streaking pattern, and figure vary dramatically from piece to piece - this is one of canary wood’s most prized characteristics.
