Outstanding!
I definitley love the wood. I'm interested in what it will look like after stained/finished/varnished or whatever. The standard one is my favorite, followed by the long one. They are all awesome though. Great job!

Please wear a mask of some sort. Purpleheart dust is VERY dangerous. I'm surprised that you didn't get sick.
Folks who have worked with Purpleheart told me to take precautions.
I'm just passing it on.
Wonderful work.
I even like the offset centered head...It helps make it UNIQUE..
I love purpleheart...It is LOVELY

I think they look great so far - I'd certainly be interested in purchasing one if you pursue production.......

This is the 3rd time I've tried to reply to this and I keep losing my post.
Readers digest version is to look at my attached picture. By spinning down to a 1/2" dowel, you can sand the bottom and sides in the drill press up to 400 grit with no cross grain scratches. Then seal it with your finish (many coats) put it back on the drill press and buff it to a high gloss. Cut the dowel off with a coping saw while spinning slowly and you end up with and automatic center for you forstner bit. The inside of the hole gets sealed up with epoxy or in my case I use Plumbers GOOP.
I'll post some more pictures of some bowls and brushes I just recently done in another thread.

Nice photo stand. I trade you a nice cigar box for it and its contents.

They look great and I would definitely be interested in one when you are ready. To bad about the purpleheart allergy however, the stuff is full of oils. I have some Escrima sticks made out of the stuff and it is really hard, and beautiful.
Let me know when you are ready to sell one.
