Processing instructions:
Amaranth / Purple Heart scantlings are difficult to work with using conventional woodworking tools. Please note that after being cut or planed, the wood will initially appear brownish and will not yet have a rich color. After 1 to 2 days, the final color will develop on its own due to UV light. You can finish and oil the wood beforehand; this will not affect the color’s intensity later on. Sharp tools are always recommended when working with solid wood to achieve clean cut edges. Amaranth wood is ideal for woodturning, cutting boards, furniture, tables, and many other exclusive woodworking projects. Looking for inspiration? Then take a look at our client projects page.

Uniqueness of wood:
Wood is a natural product; every piece is unique. Variations in color—especially when the wood comes from different logs—are natural characteristics of the material. It is precisely these variations in grain and color that make each piece of wood—and therefore your project—unique.
Wood expands and contracts: Its volume can fluctuate depending on humidity, which can lead to warping and, in the worst case, cracking and misalignment. Exposure to sunlight causes the wood’s color to change over time. By sanding the surface again and applying a fresh coat of oil, the wood will regain its original rich color even after many years. This way, your wood project can last for decades :).
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ):
How long does delivery take?
The delivery time is usually 3-7 working days.
Are the shipping costs higher for a larger order?
No. You only pay the shipping fee once per order, even if your delivery is made in several packages due to the high weight of precious woods.
Tip: It is worthwhile to combine several woods or dimensions directly in one order.
Can I process the wood immediately?
For all woods, we specify the respective residual moisture . In most cases, you can start editing right away. However, for filigree work, such as instrument making, we recommend a short acclimatization.
Can I only buy wood with upright growth rings?
No. A shipment can include timber with both upright and horizontal growth rings. Since cutting a trunk produces significantly fewer woods with upright growth rings, their proportion is naturally lower.
Why are only certain precious woods available in the shop?
We only offer precious woods that are currently available in our shop. The reason for this is our high quality standards: not every type of wood is permanently available in consistent quality.
In order to be able to offer you a large selection of widths and dimensions , we regularly cut our precious woods and update the range accordingly.
