Purpleheart Wood Appearance

Purpleheart wood 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.

Workability

Not known for its easy workability, Purpleheart lumber is a tough type of wood that can dull tools and become gummy if cutters are dull or causing too much heat.

Common Uses of Purpleheart Wood

Inlays and accent pieces are great uses for rough cut Purpleheart lumber. It can also be used for furniture, boatbuilding, and much more.

Additional Comments

Like many bright coloured woods, a little goes a long way. A splash of colour can add a tremendous design statement.

Frequently Asked Questions About Purpleheart Lumber

Got questions about Purpleheart lumber? We want to help you find the right lumber for your project, so we have answered some common questions we hear about Purpleheart wood below.

What Are the Common Applications of Purpleheart Wood?

Native to Central and South America, Purpleheart wood is a versatile hardwood that finds applications in various woodworking projects.

Its exceptional durability and distinctive purple color make it a sought-after choice for those looking to create standout and long-lasting pieces.

Does Purpleheart Wood Require any Special Maintenance?

Add a Touch of Elegance With Purpleheart Wood

Purpleheart wood is named after its distinctive vibrant purple color, which deepens with exposure to light over time. This stunning color is truly one-of-a-kind and adds a touch of elegance and sophistication to any project. From furniture and flooring to decorative accents and fine craftsmanship, Purpleheart wood makes a bold statement that is sure to leave a lasting impression.

Discover the Many Benefits of Purpleheart Lumber

One of the notable benefits of Purpleheart wood is its exceptional durability. It is an extremely dense and hard hardwood, known for its strength and resistance to wear and tear. Whether you're building furniture that requires long-lasting stability or constructing outdoor decking that can withstand the elements, Purpleheart wood delivers unparalleled durability that will stand the test of time.

In addition to its durability, Purpleheart wood offers excellent dimensional stability. It has a low coefficient of movement, meaning it is less prone to shrinkage, warping, or swelling compared to other types of wood. This stability makes Purpleheart wood a reliable choice for applications where consistent dimensions are crucial, ensuring that your projects maintain their integrity for years to come.

Another benefit of Purpleheart wood is its natural resistance to decay and rot. It possesses inherent oils that provide a level of natural resistance to pests and moisture, making it suitable for both interior and exterior projects. Whether you're creating furniture, cabinetry, or outdoor structures, Purpleheart wood offers peace of mind with its natural resistance to environmental factors.
