Purpleheart Turning Square

Purpleheart Turning Square

Purpleheart Turning Square

We will provide you with a high quality purpleheart turning square 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.

Colour and Workability

Courtesy of The Wood Database:

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.

Size: 2" x 2"

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.
