S4S Purpleheart Lumber - Thick
Purpleheart wood for woodworking!
Purpleheart is a colour shifter to be sure. When freshly cut, it’s a greyish, purply brown colour but after some time it becomes the eggplant colour we all recognize. Further exposure to UV turns it dark brown with a hint of purple.
Not known for its easy workability, Purpleheart can dull tools moderately and can become gummy if cutters are dull or causing too much heat.
If you would like to do the milling yourself - try our 8/4 Rough Cut Purpleheart Lumber for a more budget friendly version.
