Hi Phillip - Been a long time and look forward to when you can get back to turning and back with the group. Come check out our new meeting place next month (Sept). Glad to hear your handyman business is doing well. May it continue to grow!! Gordon

Pop the purple or turn it? It isn't purple- it is mesquite brown with a reddish tint. No finish on it at this point. I'll try to make you one shortly and let you figure out how it is turned.
