ben2008 Posted March 5, 2020 Report Posted March 5, 2020 Hi everyone I was looking over my stash of exotics and found I am nearly out of yellow heart lumber. I tried my usual sources and they are out of stock. Does anyone know where I can get a piece of yellow heart 3/4" X 8" X 2' ? Thanks in advance Ben amazingkevin 1 Quote
Dave Monk Posted March 6, 2020 Report Posted March 6, 2020 The last yellow heart I bought I got on ebay. Quote
dgman Posted March 6, 2020 Report Posted March 6, 2020 You didn’t say what your source was. Try Ochooch.com Wilson142 1 Quote

Yes, I found a nice piece there. Thanks Sorry, I got a little mixed up with the vendors. I actually found what I was looking for at "Rare Woods of Maine". Sorry for the mistake Edited March 6, 2020 by ben2008 Mistake Quote

Thanks Ben I may look at that source but I'm afraid of the shipping costs. Being I'm a short hop to the Mexican border and Maine is about as far as is possible from me. The wood would be properly aged by the time I ever see it. lol ben2008 1 Quote
amazingkevin Posted March 7, 2020 Report Posted March 7, 2020 I find all my hard woods but never yellow heart. Boy I,d jump for joy finding some!!! ben2008 1 Quote
Sleepy57 Posted June 8, 2020 Report Posted June 8, 2020 You might have more difficulty obtaining Yellow Heart lumber as it is now on the ENDANGERED SPECIES LIST so no more will be milled.Once supplies are used up that may be it! ben2008 1 Quote
tgiro Posted June 9, 2020 Report Posted June 9, 2020 Ocooch and Woodcraft have reported that Yellow heart has been added to an endangered species list. Does anyone know which list this is? I have looked at both the CITES Appendices and the IUCN Red List of Threatened Species. It does not appear on either of those. The Red List does have the Yellow Bleeding Heart flower, but that has nothing to do with the wood. Quote
ben2008 Posted June 9, 2020 Author Report Posted June 9, 2020 (edited) When I spoke to Ocooch a couple of months ago they told me yellowheart was on the endangered species list and would no longer be available. I checked their web site a few day ago and low and behold, they have it in stock again. I have not questioned them about this. You may try and see what is going on. Here is the email I got from Ethan at Ocooch. This was in March I posted this on another forum. I just got an email from Ethan at Ocooch Lumber and was informed of the followingEthan: "Yellowheart was just recently listed as an endangered species and importing of the lumber to the US has stopped. It is unlikely we will ever carry it again." Miscommunications somewhere. Edited June 9, 2020 by ben2008 Quote
tgiro Posted June 10, 2020 Report Posted June 10, 2020 I sent an email to Ocooch and got this reply -- Quote

I decided to go to Ocooch and ordered 2 pieces of Yellowheart before it's really gone. I really like working with that wood. I'm working on a Yellow Fin Tuna Intarsia right now. It's pricey, but in my opinion, worth it. Edited June 10, 2020 by ben2008 Quote

They have hundreds of pics of the actual boards you can purchase. I have ordered from them 2 times and have been quite satisfied with my purchase. It's free to take a look.Along the Pacific coast your way there is Cook Lumber. They also have actual pics of boards to purchase and one more in your area the Handsome Woodsman.
