I'm with Doug, that doesn't look like purpleheart to me. Purpleheart usually has a fairly tight, straight grain, and most definately has a purplish color. If you get it hot when sanding it will pull oil out and make dark purple spots. That wood's grain pattern and figure I've never seen in Purpleheart. That doesn't necessarily mean it doesn't exist, just I've never seen it.
That wood has more of a warm, rich brown color and a beautiful figure. It could be any number of types but my first thought is walnut.
