    Getting the most out of purpleheart

    I bought this beautiful slab of purpleheart for a new sitting/standing desk. I bought the base, so it's a study in understanding the natural product and getting the most out of it. From what I've read, after I sand it, I should rub down with acetone and set in the sun for a few hours, possibly...

    Mini Purple Heart Goblet

    I am no turner by any means on the level of some of the talented people here. However, I turned this miniature goblet from a chunk of purple heart I happened to find in the free scrap bin at the Hardwood Store in Gibsonville. Turned on a Wen Tool 8x12 benchtop lathe with Harbor Freight lathe...

    New to site...Been lurking awhile..Bass build project.

    Freshly turned purpleheart and CA...

    Hey guys. Maybe a dumb question, but here goes: Will CA prevent purple heart from turning purple? I am thinking it won't but I am not 100% sure. Thanks!

    8/4 purpleheart Charlotte?

    Anybody know where I can get some at around charlotte without paying with one of my appendages? If not looks the Hardwood Store has what I'm looking for but if I got there I fear I'll come back home with a lot more than just purpleheart. :gar-La;

    purpleheart turning brown

    I have a quick question about purpleheart. Does it turn brown if you get it too hot while turning it? I have a sneaking suspicion that it does and i just need to keep my tools sharper. Ken:BangHead:
