Could someone explain to me the general love for purpleheart as a medium in many things?
I see many razors here made in such and as masterful as they are I guess I just don't get it, but many receive them as being made from the Holy Grail.
I worked as a cabinet maker for many years and although I don't know everything, what I do know is that purple heart was used as a tool, not a finished product.
I see this common in the wood turning world as well. I could sell pieces purely for the fact that they contained this wood (that I usually used as a filler).
I am not criticizing those who use this wood, just trying to get a better understanding of the mindset of the greater good.
I personally own approximately 40 bf of this stuff left and have been toying with the idea of overcoming my own mental blocks and scaling a couple of blades in purpleheart. So I leave this minor conundrum in the hands of my fellow members.
