Cormark Exotic Lumber Purple Heart 4/4 (By the Board Foot)

Cormark Exotic Lumber Purple Heart 4/4 is a strong and durable wood, sometimes referred to as Amaranth, ideal for a variety of uses including inlays, accent pieces, flooring, furniture, and heavy construction. When freshly cut, this wood displays a unique grayish-purple hue that deepens into a rich eggplant purple with exposure. Over time and with UV exposure, it transforms into a dark brown shade with subtle purple undertones. To preserve its vibrant color, applying UV-resistant finishes is recommended. The grain of Purple Heart is usually straight but can occasionally be irregular or wavy, adding to its distinctive character. Despite its excellent strength, care should be taken during cutting as it may release a gummy resin when heated by dull tools or high cutter speeds, which can clog tools. This lumber is priced per board foot, making it a versatile choice for both small and large projects. ** "Random Length" means each piece may vary in length within a typical range, rather than all pieces being cut to one fixed size. This is a common way lumber and boards are sold, keeping costs lower than ordering pieces cut to a single specified length. If you need specific lengths for your project, please contact our lumber department and we'll be happy to help. ** Model Number: 3838000-2
