It looks really good Frank. What kind of finish do you have on the purpleheart? It really makes the wood look good.

Thanks Cal! I sanded to 400 Grit, then put on 2 coats of "Minwax Wipe-On Poly" (Clear Satin) let the coats dry and then used 0000 steel wool bewteen coats. let dry for a day.
then used 2 coats of "Briwax" with rag,let the wax dry and then buffed with an old cotton tshirt. Hope this helps!
