I am looking for a piece of purple heart that "screams" purple. I have done a little reading on how to make purple heart more purple and how to prevent it from browning.
I know it is a fairly common and cheap material for knife scales, problem is I have way too much handle inventory and no purple heart. Does anyone have a really plain-grain extra purple piece of purple heart they would want to trade for or sell?
This is for a gyuto so a stabilized piece would be ideal.
Thanks,
Tim
 
I've got 4 sets of scales. What Dimensions do you need? I'd love to trade for some micarta.
 
Thanks for the links guys.
@Adinb114 I dont have any micarta but I do have some thunderstorm kevlar. It was kind of expensive but I dont really like working it.
and mostly just other woods like Maple, eastern black cherry, black walnut, something labeled pmy that looks like mahgony, teak , ash.
 
Don't know if you got the materials you were after, but I'm still happy to send you a couple of sets of scales in exchange for the thunderstorm Kevlar, like you, I've got a lot of wood and not much synthetic material, lookin to change that.
 
I am all set with this Thanks to Mr. Carpenter!
