Purpleheart (Peltogyne)  also known as amaranth, violetwood, tananeo and sak, has a creamy white/gray sapwood but like its name suggests, the heartwood is a bright, striking purple when freshly cut, darkening into a deeper purple with age. It has a medium to fine texture with a luster that ranges from medium to high; its grain is usually straight but can be wavy or irregular. 
Found in Central and South America, this exotic wood is a worldwide favorite. Tall and large trees grow abundantly, sometimes reaching a diameter of five feet with clear knot free log lengths typical.

I really love this hook.I normally do not use inline hooks, but the tip is cut so well, and I was able to crochet easily. I was also surprised at how smooth my yarn glided over the wood. I will be purchasing more!!

The hook was beautiful. The recipient cried when she opened it. She said she would treasure it always. Thanks for making such a great gift.

I love the look of the hook. Can't wait to try it out on a project, but with frustration I have to wait until I finish my project that I am working on before I get to use this beauty.

This crochet hook is beautifully handmade. The color is magnificent and it fits in my hand like a dream! The size for this hook- D (3.25mm), compared to my clover 3.25mm is an exact match. You can tell that Bryan puts so much care into his work. I am in love with this hook. Thank you so much!

I received my first Nelsonwood hook as a gift and wasn't even able to wait a week before I ordered myself a second one. Not only is it a beautiful piece of artistry but the boast about its handle design relieving stress in the hand and wrist is 100% true, (in my humble opinion). I saw an immediate difference in how long I was able to crochet. I have other high end/expensive hooks and especially for the price these blow those out of the water. I also really, really appreciate the range in design and materials. I can get a (still beautiful) but functional hook for a reasonable price, or I can really treat myself and for a little bit more get a gorgeous one of a kind functional art piece. These are an investment, an heirloom quality tool to leave behind for those who love you, and something I will very much have my entire life.

Beautifully turned and finished! And the wood itself is such a nice shade of purple and shimmers in the light. Very beautiful (:
