Purpleheart - Standard Pen Blank
Purpleheart (Peltogyne porphyrocardia) is an unusual wood from Central America. When freshly cut the wood is a pinkish-brown colour but on exposure to the atmosphere (particularly sunlight) it turns a vivid purple.
Finishing a piece with a UV blocking finish such as melamine lacquer can keep the vivid colour for longer. The wood is quite hard and dense, with some blunting effect on tools.
