Purpleheart – Premium Exotic Turning Blank
Purpleheart (Peltogyne spp.) is one of the most instantly recognizable exotic hardwoods in the world, prized for its vivid purple coloration, exceptional strength, and long-term durability. Freshly machined, Purpleheart displays bright violet tones that deepen over time into rich royal purples, creating bold, eye-catching contrast in any finished project.
This premium Purpleheart turning blank features a tight, straight grain and high density that allow it to turn cleanly with sharp tools. It holds crisp detail, sands smoothly, and polishes to a sleek, glass-like finish that enhances its natural color depth. Purpleheart’s strength and stability make it ideal for pens, knife scales, tool handles, bottle stoppers, inlay work, fine furniture accents, and heirloom-quality crafts.
Renowned for its natural resistance to wear, insects, and decay, Purpleheart is frequently used in demanding applications—but it shines just as brilliantly in artistic and decorative projects. Its bold color ensures every piece stands out, whether used alone or paired with lighter woods or resin.
Add unmistakable color and premium performance to your next creation with these hand-selected Purpleheart wood blanks, chosen for rich color, consistent grain, and excellent turning quality.
