| Description |
PURPLEHEART: Peltogyne spp Purpleheart can be found growing throughout Central and South America. The heartwood changes from a dull, grayish brown to a bright purple upon exposure to sunlight. Furtherexposure to sunlight and air will result in a much deeper hue of eggplant that may turn almost black without a UV protective finish. Purpleheart is extremely durable and ranks among some of the stiffest and strongest in the world. For an exotic it is moderately priced, and the unusual color makes it a popular choice for inlays and turning. It is also used in boat-building, furniture, flooring and specialty projects. It weighs a hefty 61 lbs per cubic foot. Janka scale: 1860
