Too much glare in the pic for me to see the color or detail.

You guys are going to be so pissed off at me for pulling such a low down slimy trick on you!!!

Anybody recognize it now? Yes it is the exact same piece of wood!

What I did was ran a piece of purpleheart through the planer and then immediately took a picture of it and posted it. I then waited several days and then took another picture of it.

You may find it worth a funny,humiliating story. I had seen purpleheart before but had never worked with it. I ordered a few pieces for a project that I was going to work on and wnen I received it it was in pretty rough shape so I decided to run it through the planer, well after about the third or fourth pass (throigh the planer) I noticed that my beautifully colored purple heart was now the color of fecal brown. Boy was I pissed, I thought the company that I bought it from pulled a fast one on me. I thought that they had merely dyed some boring old wood, so I set it to the side for a few days while contemplating what to do. Well one day I was in the shop and I just happened to notice that my purpleheart was purple once again and then I realized that exposure to UV light changed it back to purple, I felt like such a big dummy but I laughted my @$$ off!!!

Posted both pictures so that you can compare.
