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.
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
Boards are nice and straight. A couple passes through the drum sander and I'm ready to work. No planer needed.
It has been a great experience working with purple heart. All it one of my pieces were laminated purple heart and maple. I knew it was hard but didn't expect it to be quite so dense and hard as it was. That made the hand sanding lot of fun (note of sarcasm). But I enjoy the entire shaping process I only wish there was a place to display the work on the website.
Excellent, easy to order and delivered on time. This plywood engraves and cuts very nice. I will be purchasing from KJP again in the near future.
Great purchase, wood smells and looks amazing. Wood purchase again in the future.
Having used typical shop vacs from both Shopvac and Ridgid I could not believe the difference in performance, efficiency, noise level, features and dust extraction capability of the Festool CT MIDI I. After attaching the MIDI to my Milwaukee track saw, I couldn’t see any dust anywhere which was quite a departure from what I have been accustomed to. Yes, the Festool is pricey however if you value your lungs and you insist on highest level of dust extraction capability, then it is worth every single penny spent to buy one.
