We will provide you with a high quality turning blank in the dimensions of your choice. This blank has already been kiln dried and is ready to be "turned" into your next great project! We recommend using Honey Bee's Natural Wood Cream for a long lasting and food safe finish.
We can sometimes accommodate a larger blank than our standard sizes. Please email us for availability and a quote.
Dimensions may vary +/- 1/4" as we often prefer to lightly skip dress the turning blanks to reveal grain & colour. Some blanks may also come with waxed faces and ends.

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.
The 8/4 Purple Heart was a beautiful cut, no imperfections, cracks or checks. Difficult wood to mill and re-saw due to it's hardness, but that was expected. Will order again.
Great board. Perfect for the job. There was a bit of a crack along the grain at one end that might be slightly problematic, but it should do.
I just received my order of rough cut, 8/4 Purpleheart lumber. Shipping was fast and the pieces of wood are beautiful! KJP comes through again!
