Bring Out The Purple In Your Purpleheart

This is a quick tip video describing what I do to bring out the color in my Purpleheart pen blanks. By using a torch, I can quickly oxidize the wood maximizing the color.

A quick note: Don't hold the heat on the piece to long, it will burn, and I have found that I get the best results if I sand first then after burning I re-sand with the finer grits to remove any grain that raised during the process. You will notice some small specks of wood that come off on the paper towel as I am polishing, Sanding would have taken care of those and made a much smoother finished product.

Regards,
Bob
