Montserrat Posted May 6, 2016 Report Share Posted May 6, 2016 Purple Heart Bowl... Took a while. Despaired while sanding... quite a learning curve. Know what I would do differently next time. Not sure there will be a next time. MTCowpoke22, amazingkevin and lawson56 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Denny Knappen Posted May 6, 2016 Report Share Posted May 6, 2016 Very nice bowl. A bugger to sand though. Beautiful. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DWSUDEKUM Posted May 6, 2016 Report Share Posted May 6, 2016 Very nicely done. Purple Heart is one of the more difficult woods to work by hand. You did a great job. Thanks for sharing this with us. Do not despair make another .. but use an easier to work wood such as pine, walnut, cedar, sassafrass, poplar Looking forward to seeing more from you DW Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

scrollerpete Posted May 9, 2016 Report Share Posted May 9, 2016 I made a heart shape bowl for my wife last Valentine day, I know how difficult it is to shape and sand the purple heart but the finish product is beautifull. You did an excellent job. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scrappile Posted May 9, 2016 Report Share Posted May 9, 2016 Great looking bowl. I've used Purpleheart on several projects. When I finished it I used tongue oil and it came out a pretty "cranberry" redish color. Don't know why. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
