Purple Heart Wood Plugs
These Purple Heart wood plugs are handcrafted in small batches in Portland, Oregon. One of the most visually dramatic hardwoods available — deep violet-purple color that intensifies with UV exposure and finish. A favorite among exotic hardwood enthusiasts for accent work, inlay, and any project where the plug is meant to stand out.
These are face grain plugs, cut so the grain runs across the top of the plug just like the surrounding wood, giving you a seamless match when stained or finished.
Packs in stock ship within 1–2 business days from Portland, Oregon. Made-to-order packs ship within the lead time shown before you buy.

Plugs are designed for a snug flush fit and sized to create a tight secure installation.
Ideal For:
Exotic furniture and accent work
Two-tone inlay with Yellow Heart
Decorative and collector projects
Turning and small craft projects
DIY woodworking projects
What to Expect:
Plugs may have a slight variance in length but will always be the correct width. Purple Heart is a dense hardwood — use sharp drill bits and a countersink or Forstner bit for clean holes. Please verify hole dimensions prior to ordering.
I hand-select every board I mill from — you're getting clean, consistent plugs with well-defined grain, not the mixed quality you find in bulk industrial orders.

Feel free to reach out with any custom requests.
