    Well done! The purpleheart looks very sharp.

    How was working with the purpleheart? Is it an easy wood to work with?

    I don't see any difference in it. Seems easy enough to work with. Plus it is a cool color... Lol

    A small tip for you, try wedges instead of spacers .
    Spacers cause the scales to bow in after time, wedges do not.

    nice work. wait til the purpleheart oxidizes, it turns a gorgeous purple brown with some black graining.

    Mastering implies there is nothing more for you to learn of something... I prefer proficient enough to not totally screw it up.
