So I have two beautiful figured purple heart boards that are 42"x6"x almost an 1" thick, what would u do with them? And before Sam chimes in im not using them for fire wood :)
Send them to Roy from Pa:)
Well roy I guess thats better then fire wood... :)
Send them to Roy with stipulations! Also a piece of bamboo!
:bigsmyl:
I'm with Sam!! :D
2nd thought, send em to Roy, he needs that!!
I agree, send them to Roy! Those would make some really pretty lams for that glass bow he's always wanted to build. :biglaugh:
Glass? What is glass? LOL
Hang on, isn't sending wood to Roy almost like! Oh never mind you get where I'm going with this. :D :deadhorse: :D
How about post pics so we all my see what you are working with.
You should.....

Ugh!
Sam I think a link to the discussion of purpleheart on your site would also get the point across.
I agree.

It turns so dark under clear glass, I doubt you'd see much of that figure after a short while.
It looks good in risers. I happen to like purpleheart. :knothead:
Dave.
I agree- it does look good as a riser... But not one of my favorites to work with.

I'm still not sure what possessed me to buy these.. I built a speargun out of purple heart and red heart a few years ago and buy the time I was done with it I swore I would not work with it again.... I guess a few years has helped me forget how much of a pain in the butt it is to cut and sand.... :)
You could send it all to me and I'll get rid of it for you :)
No use you spending all the time and hassle on it. You can thank me later :p
Risers! You have many risers that can be glued up with that would. Or cut the stuff up into riser block and sale it. You could likely double you $ invested.
Or send it to roy!
