Purpleheart lumber has heartwood that 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. The grain is usually straight, but can also be wavy or irregular. Has a medium texture with good natural luster. The principal uses are inlays/accent pieces, flooring, furniture, boat building, heavy construction, and a variety of specialty wood items.
We also offer S4S thin stock cut to size, checkout out our listing here.

Lumber Characteristics
Availability:
Available in up to 16 foot in widths from 4 inches to 12 inches and wider.
Workability:
Working with Purpleheart can present some unique challenges: if the wood is heated with dull tools, or if cutter speeds are too high. It will exude a gummy resin that can clog tools and complicate the machining process. Depending on the grain orientation, can be difficult to plane without tearout. Purpleheart also has a moderate dulling effect on cutters.

I ordered Purpleheart 4/4 in 12″ width S4S. The packaging and shipping delivery went smoothly with no complaints. The wood itself is beautiful and as described. They are priced competitively among other online wood sellers. Let me tell you that even though it’s my first time doing business with them, they deliver as promised with excellent customer service. Well done, and thank you. – Gerald F.
