    Default Purple Heart or Purple Heart?

    The first one is Streamline Chrome Flat Top with Purple Heart.

    The second one is Streamline Gold Flat Top also with Purple Heart.

    This is the first time I have used Purple heart and was amazed at the difference in color from the same piece of timber. Both were finished with 6 coats of Minwax Clear Gloss Polyurethane.

    Beautiful again Les, do you remember if their was extra time in sanding the first one, apparently it can also lose colour with too much heat, someone also mentioned that purple heart goes darker in the light. Amos
