The Inside Story
Purpleheart
is a rare exotic wood that delivers a medium high tone.
This intriguing wood is dull brown when freshly cut, then rapidly changes to a bright, vibrant purple. Exposure to air darkens the wood to a dark-purplish brown, eventually turning it dark brown.
Purpleheart has a medium to fine texture and exhibits a medium to high luster. The grain is typically straight, although sometimes it is wavy, interlocked, or irregular.
Figures below are approximate (but pretty darn close)
