Canary Wood by the Piece

Canary Wood boasts extraordinarily handsome “plumage” - a yellow base with orange hues and occasional red bands, creating a striking rainbow effect. The wood is hard and heavy, yet is easily worked with sharp hand or power tools. These thin boards are machined S4S to 1/8" and 1/4" thicknesses, eliminating wear and tear on your planer. You won’t have to worry about chipout, which is difficult to prevent when planing thin stock. Thin boards are ideal for edging, veneering, inlay, marquetry, sides for decorative boxes, bending stock, bent laminations and whatever else your imagination can dream up!
