Purple Heart lumber is a type of wood that comes from the Purpleheart tree, which is native to Central and South America. The tree is known for its beautiful, deep purple heartwood that can range in color from dark purple to brownish-purple. The wood is very dense and hard, making it suitable for a variety of uses, including flooring, furniture, cabinetry, and decorative woodworking. Because of its beauty and durability, Purple Heart lumber is often used in high-end and luxury products. However, as the trees are rare and the wood is hard to work with, Purple Heart lumber can be expensive.

S3S - The board has been surfaced S2S first, then one edge is ripped straight (also known as SLR1E or straight line ripped one edge).
