Purple Heart is an exotic and imported hardwood that is strong and resilient, and has a uniform fine-to-medium texture. The grain is usually straight, but can be irregular. The wood is purple which darkens in time through oxidation. Purple Heart is fantastic for turning.
The wood works well as long as tool cutting edges are kept sharp. It is a very good turning wood and takes polish and glue well. To preserve the rich natural color, wax is often the only coating applied.
