Looking for Purple Heart project suggestions
Mark Bourgea

I have two rough cut purple heart boards, 5 feet long, 11" wide and 2" thick,. I'm interested in cool project suggestions. I don't want to cut up the boards into a lot of little pieces, as I can buy smaller pieces locally.


Thanks.


Mark

Mark,

Good anticipation. 

Assuming you will laminate only the head with two pieces of pheart in the middle: The finish size of the head will probably be no more than 5 (long grain) x  3.5 x 3" thick (made up of two full size pieces with a couple of smaller purpleheart (?) enclosing the handle. In this case the pheart needs to be two pieces about 1.5 (long grain matching the direction of the two outside pieces) x 3.5 across the grain. So, small pieces. The two pheart pieces will need to be the same thickness as the top (enclosed part) of the handle.

The workshop filled quickly after posting on the website, so it appears you didn't make it in time. If that's the case, I encourage you to add your name to  the waitlist. It's quite likely there will be an additional workshop.

Thanks for your interest.

Jim
