Purpleheart color modification and preservation (Part 3)

[@wolfwoodworkingcreations4321]

Held up pretty well, even with the end grain to end grain glue up. According to many "cutting board experts" that should have fallen apart years ago, now I know what I can do with my small scraps. Thanks Ben!!!

[@TheSnekkerShow]

I think the long plum strips on the sides helped reinforce it, but I'm pretty sure it would have held up anyway. Titebond III is pretty tough.

Man, it was kind of depressing seeing how gray it got... But then the single planar pass to remove the top worked wonders. Night and day. Even if you don't follow up on thos again X years from now, the videos altogether are quite informative as is! Thanks.

Thanks for following up.

[@OregonOutdoorsChris]

That's impressive how the color has held up. Thank you for doing the long term research for us!

[@TheSnekkerShow]

My pleasure

Happy New Year Ben! Hope you & your family are doing well!

[@TheSnekkerShow]

Thank you. Happy New Year to you as well!

Looks like I'll be baking my next guitar in the oven, then. Thanks for spearheading the research!

You’re editing is awesome.

[@builtbybittle]

Thank you for an excellent follow-up!

[@TheSnekkerShow]

Glad it was helpful!

Very cool, I was wondering how that held up...pretty darned good, all things considered, and nice that the "patina" was so easy to get rid of👍🏼. Happy New year mate 😊

Happy New Year to you, too!

Thanks for the update! This was a really helpful experiment. (*edit replaced excitement with experiment )

Better late than never

[@TheFalconJetDriver]

This is an interesting video, 😁🛫

[@TheSnekkerShow]

Good to hear. I only wish it answered more questions.

[@barkingshark6413]

It’s not clear to me why anyone would put wood into a dishwasher. I’ve seen so many expensive beautiful maple wood salad bowls ruined from not drying them properly after cleaning them by hand…

[@RYwoodview]

No matter what, cutting boards are ultimately disposable items if they're used much. Water does a number on all woods and most finishes. Resurfacing (plane or sanding) & refinishing ought to be done for any cutting board periodically. And, no, we don't in our house either. We use'em and lose'em. Store-bought ones. I'd take better care of one I'd made. Eager to learn your thoughts to come on how to preserve purpleheart color. Meanwhile, Happy New Year!

Happy New Year!

Quick question, I wanna make a Table, so putting the slabs in the Offen is not possible for me. So, do you think that I could also use a Cclothiniron?

[@TheSnekkerShow]

I have never tried it, but it would probably be too difficult to get the color even.

[@derigel9783]

@@TheSnekkerShow Well, get the iron up to temperatur, put a cloth over it and slowly and steady, but not stopping, go over the survace. Could you try it?

[@TheMilkman710]

Who the hell puts their wooden cutting boards in the dishwasher? I really would have liked to see what it looked like with NORMAL use. We waited years for this.

[@TheLukemcdaniel]

Wood utensils/items should really never be subjected to machine washing anyway.

Instead of building guitars I am going to bake guitars

[@jasonshumake777]

Maybe don’t put it in the dishwasher
