Quarter-Sawn White Oak & Purpleheart

Dimensions 11 5/8" x 6 5/8" x 4 1/8"

White Oak – North America - Has a light to medium brown color, though there can be a fair amount of variation in color. Red Oak tends to be slightly redder, but is by no means a reliable method of determining the type of oak. Has medium-to-large pores and a fairly coarse grain.

Purpleheart - Central and South America (from Mexico down to southern Brazil) - When freshly cut the heartwood of Purpleheart is a dull grayish/purplish brown. Upon exposure the wood becomes a deeper eggplant purple. With further age and exposure to UV light, the wood becomes a dark brown with a hint of purple. Has a medium texture with small pores. The grain is usually straight, but can also be wavy or irregular.
