Amaranth

Amaranth veneer is a type of decorative veneer that is made from the wood of the amaranth tree, which is also known as purpleheart. The amaranth tree is native to Central and South America and is known for its deep, rich purple colour, which can range from reddish-purple to almost black.

Amaranth veneer is valued for its striking appearance and unique colour, which can add a bold and dramatic element to furniture and other decorative objects. The wood is known for its durability and strength, which makes it a popular choice for use in high-quality furniture and cabinetry. However, due to its hardness and density, amaranth wood can be difficult to work with and requires specialised tools and techniques for cutting and shaping.
