Wood to use with Purple Heart

Use Padouk, it is a dark orange and looks great with PH.

Bloodwood works very well and is bright red. I agree with papadan about Padauk, however, it will darken over time and loose the reddish orange color.

Zebra wood works too. for a little busier look or use all four.

Thanks for all of the suggestions. Unfortunately the wood store I use was out of 1/4” purple heart and not having a planer that idea was out the window quickly so i grabbed some walnut and 1/4” birds eye maple, she will just have to live with the maple because I personally think that is some of the neatest wood.
Thanks again I guess I will just have to wait to use purple heart.
