Fun facts about Purpleheart:

• It’s not just colourful — it’s tough. Purpleheart is incredibly strong and resistant to wear, making it ideal for projects that need to stand the test of time.

• The purple hue is natural! The iconic purple colour comes from chemical changes in the wood when exposed to air and sunlight — no dyes or stains required.

These blanks are sold individually and selected at random. Add Purpleheart to your collection today and give your handcrafted pens a naturally bold and beautiful twist.

Price is per blank in Canadian dollars.
