The Purple Hammer

I gave my Moorhammer to Peter Hogan, and my Palmhammer to Tobias... so I just had to make another one from cool looking wood.

I selected Purple Heart (Amaranth). I love that wood, hard, dense and strikingly colored.

Here it is!

    I hear you have to be careful about exposing the amaranth to UV, something about it turning more of a brownish color. A friend of mine is building a guitar out of the wood and was looking for some kind of UV blocking lacquer to help it maintain its color. Do you know anything about this?

    I made a nice Amaranth shooter about two years ago.

    Great looking! Is this from your noble woods you ordered some time ago? Beautifully crafted, Joerg. You do good work.

    Lord Robere, yes, it is from my ever dwindling stash of noble woods.
