We have been working on purpleheart slate frames today. These just need one more sanding then they will go off to the finishing room. You can see at this point the purpleheart is fairly light colored. When it is freshly sanded it is a lavender Grey color. As it ages it will turn rich people, then eventually will darken to brown. We do not dye any of the woods we use. They are all natural colors. Wood being what it is, we can get a rams of different hues of purple. These had a extra bonus because they also had some curly. That is a pattern of ropes in the grain of the wood. That is also something we can't see very well on the rough boards, so we didn't notice it until we planed them.
There is also one bloodwood frame over on the left.
I will try to remember to take another picture after they are finished so you can see the difference.

Cold day in the shop today. It was 18°F when I got here this morning. It takes longer to do things in this temp. The machines don't like to work and we have to keep warming our hands on the heater. Rushing out those Christmas orders though. Thankfully this is the coldest day before Christmas.
