: I have very limited experience with padauk. A few years ago I was
: asked to make some recessed deck fittings and a paddle holder
: out some padauk for a home builder. It machined well...

Purpleheart is kinda fun and looks more burgundy in color under varnish or epoxy rather than it's natural purple color, but it turns tan when sanded or cut, gradually turns purple again in a couple hours.

Also grossly heavy and very hard.
