Amaranth (Purpleheart, Violetwood )

A simple texture and an impressive purple-red to violet color characterize the wood of amaranth. Due to the interlocked grain, the fiber pattern appears irregular, making growth zones barely visible. The light, often white-filled pores stand out in striking contrast against the darker background. This extraordinary and decorative wood is distinguished by its striped, fine-needle-cracked, and wavy structure.
