Purpleheart PH14 — 1020 × 145 × 21mm

Purpleheart (Peltogyne spp.)

Purpleheart is one of the most visually striking hardwoods in the world — its vivid violet-purple heartwood is unlike anything else in the timber world, and it only deepens and intensifies with an oil or resin finish. Dense, hard, and exceptionally durable, it's as impressive in performance as it is in appearance. A genuine showstopper for any project where colour and character are the priority.
