Purpleheart Cutting Board Blank

Purpleheart Cutting Board Blank

Design your own cutting board!

Tired of regular brown/red wood hues? Bring some violet into the mix! Our Purpleheart cutting board blanks are 1-5/8" thick x 24" long and come in 3 sizes:

  • 3/4"
  • 1"
  • 1-1/4"

This blank has already been kiln dried and dressed on 4 sides, so it’s immediately ready for gluing and clamping. Combine with our premade domestic or exotic cutting board packs - or put together your own combination with the other 6 wood types we carry!

Dimensions can be +/- 1/4" of size listed

We recommend using Titebond III Ultimate Wood Glue for a sturdy and waterproof bond between your cutting board blanks. If you want a mess-free application, we also recommend using the Titebond Glue Brush to make the process a little easier. 

We recommend using Honey Bee's Natural Wood Cream for a long lasting and food safe finish. Made with only 2 ingredients - pure beeswax and 100% food grade mineral oil - this soft paste is easy to spread and will protect and enhance the natural beauty of your next creation.

Do you hate trying to pry your cutting board off the countertop, but don’t have a router to form handles on your piece? Our Bumper Feet can help give your cutting board the lift it needs to be easy and comfortable to use.

Colour and Workability

When freshly cut the heartwood of Purpleheart is a  dull grayish/purplish brown. Upon exposure the wood becomes a deeper eggplant purple. With further age and exposure to UV light, the wood becomes a dark brown with a hint of purple. This color-shift can be slowed and minimized by using a UV inhibiting finish on the wood.

Ordered some wood for a cutting board

I was pleased with my order. Delivery and packaging was very good. I made an error in my order and ordered some sizes of wood that I won’t use on my next project but will order the correct sizes from you based on my past experience

One bad apple

Ordered pieces for a large cutting board, the maple pieces were great but one purple heart had a serious corkscrew twist in it and I had to mill it down quite a bit to be usable

Maple piece is warped

Find three pieces each of maple, walnut, cherry, and Purple Heart. The three pieces of maple were warped.
