    The plain Purpleheart is selected for its uniform color and overall quality, and we also carry curly or figured Purpleheart that is selected for character and activity. The figured Purpleheart can range from a tight tiger stripe to a broad series of irregularly shaped areas of compressed grain that can look like spots on a leopard.



    Purpleheart (Peltogyne spp.) Central and South America. Medium to hard wood with tight, fairly straight grain with moderate to coarse texture. Bright purple when cut, darkens to brownish purple with exposure. Purpleheart is a very strong wood, machines well with sharp tools. Uses for Purpleheart include a variety of specialty wood items: Pens, Knife scales, boxes, ornaments, etc. Stock is cut to size from quality, kiln-dried stock. 100% clear and sanded on both sides.
