Use purpleheart. But then it might turn brown. -)

You just run the doors through the planer every 6 months.


I understand the planer blades make a mess of the hinges though...
What turns it brown is oxidation. Seal off the air, and it stays
purple. If you don't seal it, it will rust......like oak.
