Details

Purpleheart (Peltogyne spp.) is a medium to hardwood with tight, fairly straight grain and moderate to coarse texture. Bright purple when cut, it darkens to a deep purplish brown. Purpleheart is a very strong wood that machines well with sharp tools. Works to a medium to high luster. The thinner boards are well-suited for edging, veneering, marquetry, sides for decorative boxes, bending stock and bent laminations, while the thicker boards are ideal for furniture, paneling, cabinet doors, moldings, drawer sides and fine jewelry boxes.

Features:


  • Bright purple when cut, it darkens to a deep purplish brown
  • Dimensionally stable hardwood with fairly straight grain
  • Turns and finishes well
  • Native to Central and South America

What's Included:

  • (1) Purpleheart Dimensional Lumber
