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.

Great product, great service
Excellent wood grain and tone with minimal sap wood. Fast delivery and great customer service
Le bois est d'une qualité impressionnante!
Great just what i was looking for
Two of the blanks had small cracks and one broke in half while designing a bowl.
Color came through fresh
I have been purchasing hardwoods from KJP for many years and have never been disappointed.
Satisfied with the PurpleHeart order.
mills nicely (helical head) harder and heavier than oak
I dont see much grain but the purple! First glue up setting as I write this. I wiped down the PH with acetone just prior to the tb3.
I think it's great for accent with maple and walnut. Use a good dust mask and eye protection
It was perfect and it's my favorite wood because we can mix it with any other type of wood.
8/4 Purpleheart Lumber Pack
4/4 Purpleheart Lumber
I was so happy with the lumber packs I received. and customer service was top notch I had one small issue with the glue and they solved it in no time with just a quick email. I will exclusively deal with KJP for my hardwood needs in the future. I'm already looking forward to my next order for my next build.
My order contained qty x 2 - 4/4 Purpleheart rough cut 36"x7". Both boards are really nice when taken as individual boards, no defects so should be able to use every inch of them both after milling, but the grains couldn't be more different, one is dead straight grained all the way through, and the other has some lovely figuring, like I said both great boards in their own right but KJP could have tried to find 2 boards of similar character, they are so different that I wouldn't be able to use both face grains in the same project - fortunately I don't plan to.
Super et merci

I have not received the item. Got a notification from UPS saying it was sent back.
Hi there, Andrew. We apologize for the delay in receiving your S4S Purpleheart Lumber. Due to recent changes in import laws on August 30, there has been a backlog at the border. However, you should have received your item by now. If not, please let us know and we will do our best to assist you. Thank you for your understanding.
Very nice. I make Urns and this will make some beautiful ones. www.verns-urns.ca
All the pieces I got Moore perfect in every way. They made it here with no issue just had to pay a little extra for import tax, but that was perfectly fine. The wood looks fantastic. None of it was twisted or bowed.
Purple heart bowl blanks arrived two days after I ordered them.
Always a pleasure doing business with KJP.
Almost as good as stopping by the store!!
Color is awesome
Best I have seen
Purpleheart Dowels
There was a problem with one box being open on both ends due to shipping. The Purple Heart came through unscathed. Will order again in the future from KJP. Thanks
I can’t review the product as I have still not received it. I know it’s not your fault but I would not recommend using CanPar for your deliveries. The product has sat for days at different locations with no movement. They still can’t give me a delivery day.
Exactly what I ordered, perfect for my projects
The 8/4 Purple Heart was a beautiful cut, no imperfections, cracks or checks. Difficult wood to mill and re-saw due to it's hardness, but that was expected. Will order again.
Great board. Perfect for the job. There was a bit of a crack along the grain at one end that might be slightly problematic, but it should do.
I just received my order of rough cut, 8/4 Purpleheart lumber. Shipping was fast and the pieces of wood are beautiful! KJP comes through again!
Excellant
Product came in a timely manner
This isn’t the best of colour I’ll see if I can brig the purple back sometime I put it in the oven and the purple comes back.
