Does anyone know of finishes which can be applied on purple heartwood that
will retain the color? The local woodshop here has it for $2.85 a bd. ft.
and I'd like to get some to do some cabinet door faces for my house.  I've
been told that it turns brown with sun, and would like to stop this
process. thanks for any help  paul

I use to mill alot of p.h for a bench manufactor and found it turned a
deep purple when left in the sun for just a short time.
