Needing help in choosing a wood (yellow color)

Yellow Heart or maybe Ash

-- Mother Nature created it, I just assemble it. - It's not ability that we often lack, but the patience to use our ability

Yellowheart, Or Popular(just not the sapwood, which is green)

-- My terrible signature...

Another vote fer Yellow Heart. Maybe die some Maple or Ash. I haven’t done any die experimenting….. yet, but plan to one o these days

Never thought of popular, thats readily available at almost any lumber store, I like how the yellow heart looks, I believe it’s the closest to what I’m looking for, I’ll check my two local lumber suppliers and see if I can get Yellow heart.

thanks a bunch Monte and Alex.

Bois d’arc is yellow too- though all these woods will darken with time and exposure. In my book I use dye on the Man in the Moon Box and use yellowheart on the Flower Box. Either way works, just use a good hard wood so it will not dent and will look good for many years.

Ya know actually maple can be turned to an amber which is close to yellow if the right finish is applied to it, just can’t remember which finishes do that?

Most any oil-based finish will ‘amber’ light woods. I like the effect.

Ok here’s my plan going down the line, first choice will be the Yellow heart, then I’ll just wing if from there depending on my decision who knows I just might do what Donna suggest and die the wood, after going out to the shop and wiping the dust off the book I looked at your box donna that looks nice too. :)
