So, I ordered 20 board feet of purpleheart expecting to get the usual 3 to
6 inch widths. Got some of that, but also got one board 12 inches wide
and 66 inches long. What a surprise. Now I just need to figure out what
to do with it. Clearly something decorative. I was going to build some
boxes thought purpleheart and maple would look good together.

Personally, I don't like combination of purpleheart and maple. Beside
the lighter wood, purpleheart looks like Oscar Meyer bologna or
something.
