Mystical Lion Mask

I actually completed this project several weeks ago, but finally got around to taking a photo of it. Cut from 3/4" Purpleheart. I've just left the wood in its natural state, no lacquer or varnish.

You ought to consider a satin or dull clear coat. Not only does it bring out the colors and grain, but affords a measure of protection to the wood.

I rarely ever use any stain on exotics, but always give them a clear coat. Of course, to each their own, so long as you're happy.

Very nice cut Trevor ...

I agree with Xray...that you should give it a splash of oil to bring out the grain and help protect the wood....but to each their own....thanks for showing us.

Yep, I'm going to take your advice guys and dip it in my oil. Thanks.. not a bad idea.

Looks great Trevor, I think a coat for PurpleHeart also helps so it doesnt lose its colour
