Pink Streaks in Yellowheart

[CharlieT]

Today, I received a test piece of 1/16" thick yellowheart wood. It is loaded with pink streaks. Does anyone know how to get rid of them? Alternatively, does anyone know of a supplier that sells thin sheets of yellowheart and guarantees the wood doesn't have these streaks?

I've bought from Ocooch several times. Great quality and service. Never saw any pink in the yellowheart.
I have made special requests before through email and they have been very responsive. If you explain what you are looking for I'm sure they will try to accommodate.

Unfortunately, the wood I received came from Ocooch.

Sorry to hear that. Did you try to contact them?

If it was a test piece, it may have been less likely to be pristine.

Here is the only other place I have found 1/16

Hi Charlie,

Check out the offering from Rare Woods - and if you email them they are very responsive. Gilmer is another option but what they show online looks like it may also suffer from pink/red intrusions (never mind the breathtaking price point of most Gilmer woods).

Does anyone know how to get rid of them?

If you are going to bail on the miscolored wood anyway, you could try an experiment.
Buy a small size packet of lemon yellow alcohol soluble aniline dye. The alcohol will not raise the grain.
Dye dissolved in water penetrates more deeply but also raises the grain.
Many sources - here is one https://www.shellac.net/PLBEaniline...ImQrTMCKTF6F3WRBkVOSM29-ApXMQj9AUK0eXU-svNgHz
