Finish For Purpleheart

Bob Gary

>Have a small bowl turned out of purpleheat and wondered what you all would recommend for a finish that would help make the color of the wood stand out?

I�ve not worked with this wood too much. I tried Danish oil on a something made with this wood before and it made it a bit too dark, almost black.

Thanks.

Bob

>Either laquer or polyurethane works good for me. No matter what you do it will darken and have to be resanded and refinished to get back to the original color.
