Purple Heart Lumber

Purple Heart is an exotic species whose mechanical properties are reported to lie somewhere between those of Greenheart and Oak, having exceptional tolerance for shock loading. Purple Heart is highly desired by hobbyists and craftsmen who use the hard heavy wood in small projects. It is very hard and dense which makes it a good accent for projects like cutting boards or other inlay work. It is a very popular wood among woodturners and polishes well.

Purple Heart is a very recognizable species due to the bright purple coloring, and it grows from Mexico through Southern Brazil. The bright purple color may fade to a darker brownish plum. To prolong the color, this wood should be finished with a UV protectant and avoid exposure to direct sunlight.

We stock SEL&BTR grade Purple Heart at our headquarters in Spring, TX. All our dimensional lumber is milled S3S, and the prices listed below are the per-board-foot prices.

If you are picking up locally, you are welcome to get as little or as much as you need. If, however, you need your lumber shipped, we require a minimum purchase of 250BF.

Freight rates for dimensional lumber must be calculated (on our end) before we are able to process your order, and this will vary, depending on the amount of lumber you need, distance, etc. Therefore, before placing an order for full length dimensional lumber, we ask that you please send us a message so that we can generate a quote for you.
