I think that is unusual, I have an 8/4 plank in my shop that I've been
waiting to find out what it wants to be for about 5 months and no probem.
It's a dense wood and as such harder to dry, sounds like someone rushed
yours thru the kiln.

I got a slab of 8/4 purpleheart, and after a few weeks of sitting there
I notice there's a lot of splitting especially on one end. I have it in
a cool dry environment at a fairly stable temperature.

Is this normal for purpleheart? Does it often split and check at the end?

I'm going to lose (I think) around a third of this board.
