Had to buy my dad a new saw blade
And I'd do it again.
Holy moly, this stuff looks regal.
Way harder than hickory, I can't even dent it, and heavy too.
Might be my absolute favorite.

Building a custom guitar from ‘Purple Heart' wood
We received the 2 8/4 pieces quickly. They were beautifully matched and have been glued together to make a flat top Jimmy Page inspired Les Paul guitar!
I'd post a photo but I'm not sure how to do so!

Very nice. Straight grain. Would have liked a bit more character, but I know that's a tall order

Better than expected
I gave the rough sizes of the pieces I needed, as well as the parts and part sizes they will be worked into. I got close to perfect on the sizes I felt I needed. the surfacing was great as well. Well done.

Was impossible to get 8/4 purple heart from my local supplier. Ordering from woodworkerssource was a breeze...I think it arrived in about 3 days....wrapped in cardboard and very well protected....
Used for end grain cutting boards....customer was very satisfied and so was I....
Will definitely be ordering again soon.

The Purple Heart I received was outstanding. I am making a cutting board out of it, along with some Hickory, for my wife. She can't wait till it's done. Thanks Woodworker Source! I will be buying from you again.

Offering Jointing two sides
Product was wonderful. I would have been really happy if two sides were jointed but one worked OK. Also the thickness of the purple heart and the hard maple were not equal.

Purple heart selection
Not only is the wood itself incredible, but I was impressed with the quality of it as sold. I ordered a single side cut to true it up for my uses, and I almost couldn't tell which side was cut the board was in such nice shape. Beautiful wood and great inventory.

Denver,
Process easier, better product and less expensive than dealing locally
The Purple Heart is beautiful and requesting "matching selection" was well worth the extra cost. I have already recommended Woodworkers Source to a friend!

Very nice product and met all my expectations. Have made several cross grain cutting boards and the color from this wood is fantastic. Appreciate the care taken in packaging for shipping. No dings or dents. Thanks.

stock for end grain cutting board
It really was a fine product. Delivered as promised and lived up to expectations. I only had one small problem when milling it. All milled surfaces turned brown rather than a rich purple. I called and was told that placing it out in the sun would bring out the purple (the UV rays and all). I tried, but it being winter in the midwest, we don't get a lot of sun, hence a limited amount of UV, unlike Tempe AZ. Looks like I'll need to wait until next summer to try the sunbake route. Other than that, the wood was great
