The wood pictured is purpleheart, also sometimes called amaranth or violet wood, and comes from several species of tropical trees native to Central and South America. The heartwood is a light purple when cut, and darkens upon exposure to sunlight, reaching first a darker purple and eventually a brown with a purple cast. It is hard and strong, and takes attention when turning, requiring sharp tools, gentle cuts, and careful sanding.
The shape can be varied however you like, to make something unique for you. Price: $20 give or take depending on your design
