Yellow Birch Lumber

Yellow Birch is a light, durable hardwood known for its pale color and fine grain, making it a popular choice for small woodworking projects like cutting boards, game boards, decorative boxes, and furniture. Unlike the deeper, reddish tones of Red Birch, Yellow Birch offers a creamy yellow to light brown hue, which lends a bright and clean look to any project. We carry Yellow Birch in a variety of sizes and finishes including S4S from 4/4, to 8/4.
