Always have enjoyed prpleheart, 4.21.2009

Reviewer: Larry Smith (Little Rock, AR)

Doesn't quite work as nice as cherry or walnut does, but those ain't purple neither. I made a lot of stuff with purplehart. and I keep doing it still. I like it.

Love it, 4.8.2009

Reviewer: Pete Shook (withheld, )

One of my favorite woods. It's not all that nice to work with as it kind of burns easy and it's coarse grained which causes some splinters. But there's something about the way it looks all polished up that gets me to look past its workability shortcomings.
