Popular Post DickMira Posted April 2, 2021 Popular Post Report Share Posted April 2, 2021 This scrolled Red Tailed Hawk is cut from a piece of purpleheart that is 3/4" x 13" x 11" and finished with a satin polyurethane. It is mounted on a 3/4" x 16" x 15" board that was finished with a hammered aluminum spray paint.

CSull Posted April 2, 2021 Report Share Posted April 2, 2021 That is nice! Is purpleheart hard to work with being so hard? I have a chunk of it and was considering using it in a project. DickMira and amazingkevin 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DickMira Posted April 2, 2021 Author Report Share Posted April 2, 2021 Purpleheart is very hard, stiff, and very dense making it difficult to work with. Purpleheart wood is one of the hardiest and sturdiest woods in the world. Working with it requires much patience and a slow approach when cutting making it moderately hard to work with but takes a glossy lustrous finish. Go ahead and use it. It will be the most durable part of your project. Regards, Dick amazingkevin 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
