Anyone ever had a problem with purpleheart turning brown on them? Any remedies? Here's the story...
This morning I'm turning a purpleheart pen blank and as I'm turning I notice it's becoming a dull purple color. No big deal cause I'm confident the finish (CA glue) will bring the purple tones back out.
Well I begin to sand and realize the blank keeps getting brownish. By the time I'm done the blank is brown. I was using the rolls of woodturner's sandpaper from Woodcraft (brown color) to sand. Possibly cause? I'm attempting to post pictures. This normal?
