Why Choose Our Purpleheart Blanks?
✔ Kiln-Dried for Stability
Carefully dried to prevent movement and ensure optimal performance on the lathe.
✔ Precision-Cut & S4S
Surfaced on all four sides for consistent sizing and minimal prep—ideal for quick-start projects.
✔ Bold, Vibrant Color
The iconic purple color deepens with exposure to light and finish, making each piece uniquely eye-catching.
✔ Sustainably Sourced
Responsibly harvested and hand-inspected for consistent quality and structural integrity.
🌟 Recommended Uses:
• Tool Handles
• Pens & Bottle Stoppers
• Mallets & Carving Tools
• Small Bowls or Decorative Turnings
Finishing Tip:
Use a UV-protective finish to maintain the rich purple color and reduce darkening over time. Always work with sharp tools and proper dust collection—Purpleheart is dense and can be splintery when dry.
Natural Variation Disclosure:
Wood is a natural material. Variations in grain pattern and color are normal and part of what makes each piece unique. Your blank will match the described quality and characteristics.
