Curly purple heart is jaw-dropping sometimes, and definitely in this case. Welcome to LJ

You sure you didn’t dye some curly maple and pull a fast one on us? :-)

I bet it picks up the candle light nicely. Looks like it could shimmer.

Thanks for all the comments. The board that I got this purpleheart from didn’t show any signs of being curly (or more accurately Im so new to woodworking that i didnt pick up on it) until I resawed it. Now I wish I had got the whole board!

Really nice.

Very nice, I have worked with PH alot and have never seen character like that. That is some cool wood. Nice job and congrats on you first posts.
