Re: Ace of Purplehearts Workbench

Thanks, I'll try some differnt butcher block oils to see how that does. I'm familiar with the color-changing behavior of purpleheart as I've used it many times. Most recently on an under-water spear gun with Wenge accents. It was stunning until I put the clear-coat epoxy on it... Still looks nice, but it's a shame it didn't stay as bright as it was after the oxidation set in.

In any case, it's a great bench that you should be proud of... even if you can't bring yourself to use it.

Thx.

I like the fact that you went breadboard and solid rather than mitered and vineered ply. I might have to build one of these for myself.
