Purpleheart... Inspiration

Purpleheart is one of mother nature's beautiful woods.... and yes, it is naturally that colour! We often get asked how we stained the wood to achieve that vivid colour but nope, that colour is natural! Here's a few images from our customers that have made beautiful projects including Purpleheart...

Keep an eye out for our March flyer, Purpleheart might just be on special!

The "Clover"... from start to finish

There's nothing more exciting than unloading a shipment of burls and finding a gem like this one! Bark on all sides...  and in such a beautiful shape. After storing it for about a year, we decided to make this burl our latest project.

Maple Burl - 4.25" x 39" x 46.5"
Mineral spirits to show the grain

Cathy and Derek spent hours upon hours chipping away the bark and vacuuming out the dust and dirt. Before actually doing so yourself, you really don't know how long it takes! 

Bernie even took a moment here and there to do some "chipping"

Sanded and ready to finish

Finished with four coats of Livos

Now it's time to design legs. Wood? Metal? To be cont.
