8/4 Purpleheart Lumber

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. Although these boards have been skipped dress to show colour and grain, they will still require some TLC and additional milling. If you would prefer to have the milling done for you - check out our S4S Purpleheart Lumber. Specifications What can you expect? We will carefully handpick a high quality board for you.
