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.
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.

Would have nicer if 3-4 inches thick
I know that purple heart is a premium hard wood. Great grain structure and figuring. But wholy cats is it heavy. I couldn't believe it was that stout.
I haven't found the peice hiding in the bowl blank just yet, but it will reviel itself to me eventually.
Up until this particular order, I have received excellent wood from KJP. I was very impressed with the quality of the different species of exotic wood I received in the past. However, the maple I received in this order was subpar with large knots that I was unable to work around. I was using the maple on a large serving board and the final product was flawed with too many slightly opened knots. I will continue to buy wood from KJP, because my overall opinion of KJP's products is still very high. Thanks for listening.
We were impressed with the thickness. The adhesive seems to work well. We applied the edgebanding with a household iron. Joints within the roll were hardly noticeable. Would definitely buy again.
I haven't cut into any of it yet but it looks like it will a good looking part of some of my wood craft projects
