Nice results and thank you very much. I enjoyed seeing your approach to scale making. You've got some interesting ideas worth emulating.

Just a note about the purple heart wood. It is kind of oily and so doesn't always glue up reliably with a water-based glue, but is just fine with urea-resin glues or epoxy. Also, although it starts out with that astonishingly lovely purple color, if it is exposed to sunlight long enough the purple will turn brown. That's just the nature of the wood.
