GPscroller Posted August 13, 2016 Report Posted August 13, 2016 My one true weakness in patterns is crosses. Very nice job on all three. I love working with padauk but will not touch purple heart, you are a brave man! Quote
tonylumps Posted August 13, 2016 Author Report Posted August 13, 2016 (edited) My one true weakness in patterns is crosses. Very nice job on all three. I love working with padauk but will not touch purple heart, you are a brave man! I like to do crosses too.But I thought just the opposite Why did you find the purple heart more difficult.I thought the Padauk harder to work because of the way it bleed.But after reading up on it a little shellac did the trick.

GPscroller Posted August 13, 2016 Report Posted August 13, 2016 I found the purple heart one of the hardest woods to cut. Quote
