Purpleheart Woodturning Spindles

Purpleheart, also known as amaranth, is a highly sought-after hardwood for pen blanks and woodturning due to its unique and vibrant nature. When freshly cut, the heartwood of purpleheart may appear dull grayish/purplish brown. However, within a few days of exposure, it transforms into a deeper eggplant purple, making it an incredibly eye-catching material. 

Purpleheart is also highly acclaimed for its exceptional sturdiness and longevity, making it a versatile option for various purposes. With prolonged exposure to UV light, the wood gradually develops into a rich brownish-purple hue. However, to delay this color change, the wood can be coated with a UV inhibitor finish. Purpleheart is a practical and aesthetically pleasing material for those seeking a durable and visually striking option.

2x2x12 spindles can come waxed or unwaxed.

  • Common Name: Purpleheart, amaranth, roxinho, violeta
  • Scientific Name: Peltogyne spp.
  • Native Area: Central and South America (from Mexico down to southern Brazil)
  • Hardwood has a medium texture and a good natural luster. Easy to turn.
  • A natural purple-colored wood.
  • Makes an excellent wood for turning projects of all types
  • Non-Stabilized
  • Priced: Per Each
