Trka2002 Posted January 25, 2019 Report Share Posted January 25, 2019 Just finished this one. I cut it out of Purple Heart. I think it turned out good considering it was the first time I used this wood. One think I learned, it seemed to be really hard on blades. Used more blades than I usually do on a project this size. I wish I would have kept track, I am curious just how many I used. frankorona, Foxfold, Scrolling Steve and 6 others 8 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

meflick Posted January 25, 2019 Report Share Posted January 25, 2019 Beautiful job. I hadn't thought of cutting it on Purple Heart but it looks amazing. However, you are correct it is a very hard wood, and as a result, you will go through a lot of blades. In this instance it paid off though. Thanks for sharing. That is one of my all time favorite hymns, and I have that pattern to try one day. I hope mine turns out half as good as yours seems to.

bcdennis Posted January 25, 2019 Report Share Posted January 25, 2019 I go through a ton of blades when I use Purple Heart. FD Ultra Reverse #5 do the best for me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rockytime Posted January 25, 2019 Report Share Posted January 25, 2019 I have made pens with purple heart but have never cut it on the saw. You cut five of my favorite hymns. I absolutely love it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure I would choose it for decking but at $16 a metre, I bought a bit to muck around with. They are now discontinuing it though so I should pick up a bit more before it's all gone.
