The material is exported at a low but regular rate. Supplies are ample, but the wood is fairly expensive. It costs more than mahogany but less than teak. Although it has not found wide demand, Purpleheart is available on the US market in both the lumber and veneer forms. Environment profile: Vulnerable Tree size: Trunk diameter is 200-250 cm
Colors: the heart isRed, Yellowand the sapwoodWhite to yellow, Yellow.The grain isStriped figure, the textureMediumand the lusterPronounced
Natural durability: Very durable, Very resistant to dry-wood termite attack Odor: No specific smell or taste Kiln Schedules: UK=E US=T6D2/T3D1 Fr=5 Kiln Drying Rate: Slow Drying Defects: Slight surface checking, Slight twist/warp Ease of Drying: Variable results. Tree Identification: Bole/stem form is buttressed
Comments: General finishing qualities are rated as good Treatment against the effects of ultra-violet rays has been suggested to maintain the original color of the wood. A treatment with Armorall, the car finish product, under lacquer is reported to hold the color wellWorking the wood with dull cutting tools may cause gum exudation Blunting Effect: Moderate Boring: Fairly easy to very easy Carving: Fairly Easy to Very Easy Cutting Resistance: Tools usually require frequent sharpening Gluing: Fairly Easy to Very Easy Mortising: Fairly Easy to Very Easy Moulding: Fairly Easy to Very Easy Movement in Service: Fairly Easy to Very Easy Nailing: Pre-Boring Recommended, Pre-boring recommended Planing: Respond poorly to ordinary tools Resistance to Impregnation: Sapwood is permeable Resistance to Splitting: Very Poor
Response to hand tools: Response to hand tools is fair Routing recessing: Fair to Good Results
Sanding: Good sanding finish Veneering qualities: Veneers easily, Veneers moderately easy Steam bending: Fairly well defined
Screwing: Fair to Good Results, Fairly Easy to Very Easy; Turning: Very Good to Excellent Results
Polishing: Very Good to Excellent; Staining: Takes finishes rather well ;
Bending strength (MOR) = very high Modulus of Elasticity (stiffness) = very high Max. crushing strength = very high Weight = very heavy Shrinkage, Tangential = small Shrinkage, Tangential = moderate Shrinkage, Radial = small Shrinkage, Radial = moderate Hardness (side grain) = very hard Density = very high Density (dry weight) = >75 lbs/cu. ft Crushing strength = very high Bending strength in the air-dry condition (about 12 percent moisture content) is very high Bending strength (MOR) = medium Bending strength (MOR) = high It is hard, and does not mar or dent easily Bodig, J. and B.
