Argentine Osage Orange, a tropical hardwood, is an exotic wood from South America that is very dense. Heartwood is golden to bright yellow, which inevitably ages to a darker medium brown with time: primarily due to exposure to ultraviolet light. See the article Preventing Color Changes in Exotic Woods for more details.
