Purpleheart - Rough wood

Purpleheart, also called Amaranth (scientific name: Peltogyne pubescens) is recognized for its unique color with purple and violet variances when freshly cut and which varies over time to an elegant purple/dark brown color. Coming from Central and South America, Amaranth is a very dense and durable wood. Amarante is mainly used for carpentry, DIY, turning, parquet floors. It is sometimes found paired with other wood species in order to find a marked effect of color contrast. Its high resistance makes it suitable even for heavy construction such as bridges, structures.

ROUGH WOOD

Rough boards comes directly from sawmills in various thicknesses, lengths and widths. The dimensions of each board vary depending on the lots received. Classification and measurement of wood are carried out according to industry standards (NHLA).

Rough lumber (not planed) can be chosen from the lumber yard. We also have a selection of two-sided planed lumber, available in store.

Prices are available in pmp (board measuring feet). 1 bf is equivalent to a volume 1 inch thick x 12 inches wide and 1 foot long.

The thicknesses are expressed in quarter inch (exemple : 4/4 = 1",  5/4 = 1 ¼",  8/4 = 2", 12/4 = 3")

Widths are rounded in inches and lengths are rounded in feet.
