    Description

    Purpleheart (Peltogyne spp.) is an exotic hardwood native to Central and South America. It is known for its vibrant purple heartwood, which can deepen over time. The grain is generally straight, though it can be wavy or irregular, and the fine to medium texture adds to its appealing appearance. The wood has a natural luster that enhances its vivid color.

    Purpleheart is durable and strong, making it suitable for demanding applications. It’s often used in fine furniture, cabinetry, and decorative veneers. The wood takes stains and polishes well, which enhances its beauty for custom woodworking projects, including turnings and inlays.

    In musical instrument making, Purpleheart is valued for crafting guitar bodies, backs, and sides. Its bright, balanced tone and good sustain make it a top choice among luthiers. Additionally, it is used for other stringed instruments and woodwind parts due to its strength and stability.

    With its dense composition, Purpleheart offers excellent resistance to decay and insect attack, making it ideal for both indoor and outdoor uses.
