Purple Heart

Project Owner: David L Green
Type of Wood: purple Heart
Finish: none
Dimensions: 6" high, 3" wide & 7/8" thick

Description:

I did this as a valentines day present for my wife and I didn't have time to develop it as much as I'd have liked. I found the density of the wood challenging to carve but it was a lot of fun to watch it change color. When you first carve in to purple heart it's brown but within minutes, the surface turns purple.
