Purple Heart lumber, also known as Amaranth, is a type of exotic hardwood renowned for its stunning, deep purple hue. Native to Central and South America, this lumber is highly sought after for its exceptional durability, resistance to decay, and striking coloration, which deepens over time when exposed to sunlight. Purple Heart is often used in high-end furniture, flooring, cabinetry, and specialty wood projects where both aesthetics and performance are paramount. Despite its beauty and strength, working with Purple Heart requires care, as the wood can be challenging to machine and sand due to its density and natural oils. Its unique color and robust properties make it a prized material among woodworkers and artisans.
