Wait. The Purpleheart is not purple inside, it becomes so when exposed
to light, so after milling you expose fresh, unpurpled wood.
After a few days it should be fine.


Actually it can be purple inside. I have seen it go both ways. My last
batch the inside was as purple as the outside. Other batches became very
dark purple imediately at the cut and turned brown as it aged inside and not
exposed to light.
