Purpleheart Bangle Bracelet

[jewelrybyjanelle50]

This bangle is in purpleheart, and I finally got the color right in the pictures. It is really hard to photograph. Teak oil and paste wax finish buffed.

 you know the one color I have the hardest time getting good photos of is purple - doesn't matter what it is - glass, scarf, paper, purple anything seems to just not photo well!

You do some nice work!  There was a show I went to once and someone there had some nice looking boxes - but I felt like I was running my hand over sandpaper almost when I felt them - bumpy finish - dust or grit in it or something -
your bracelets and the pendants look so smooth - very nice!

Thanks, Kris. Yes, the finish is very important. This is where lots of woodworkers fail, they don't take the time to do the finish right. It really makes a huge difference.

Wow! that must be a lot of work.. and the color is beautiful!

Collette~Yes, the color is fantastic. It does darken with age some, to a beautiful purple-ish brown. Woodworking is time consuming, but satisfying in the long run.

Woodworking is time consuming, but satisfying in the long run.

Very satisfying to look at such a beautifully designed pice as well.  You have an awesome skill set in wood working!

I think on the next one of these I do, it will be a bit thinner. It will still be 1/2" wide, but won't be as thick.

I will have a small blurb on this bracelet and the wood in my blog by tomorrow, probably.
