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.
a very nice piece of wood . Cuts nice with slight tear outs. sands well and finishes very nice. will buy again.
Rough Cut - not a chance. The piece I received was better than some of the S4S pieces I’ve bought from others. Brilliant colour and great fast delivery.
I have been teaching woodworking for 30 years and have found that kgp wouldn't work is one of the best suppliers. Their staff is very knowledgeable and very professional. The lumber is second to none in terms of quality. I will definitely be buying from them again and would recommend to anyone who want a good quality wood by from kjp

straight and true. First time using Iroko. Outdoor mostly sheltered area.Not Teak but still quite pricey. KJP is a great company to deal with, like a candy store for wood
Not impressed with the shipment I received, the 12x12 was not 12x12, off an 1/8 to a 3/16 on both sides and the peices were very warped and not flat
