Reviews for 1-3/4" Purple Heart Pre-Cut Squares

The piece of wood met my expectations. I needed a longer piece than the standard of 12" I could find locally and was so glad to find just what I needed. Our rainy weather has not allowed the work to start yet but then again all of our shelter in place has kept us from the gathering to give the baton as a gift.

Beautiful wood.\nIt would have been nice if the contents had been labeled to make it easier to tell which species were which.

The two pieces I received were straight and true and were exactly as described. Only minor issue I have is the color, I know how the color of purple heart can change, it was just that one side of each square was completely Brown .

The material is as beautiful as in the advertised picture. the wood quality was excellent. I found the wood workable for what I was doing. The only issue I had was the grain or, actually the wood between the grains. Porosity worked against the overall finish of the final product. Also some of the fine detail on the image we were engraving broke away, not totally the fault of the wood. Just needed to be a very fine image. I did use heat to enhance the purple effect, something I had read on line. The wood was used for letter openers. \nI previously used Rosewood from Brazil with nicer results.
