Hi All
I recently aquired a load of wood from a chap who had to give up turning, due to respiratory problems. One of these pieces had a couple of wood worm holes in it, so I decided to cut it up into pen blanks. The wood, before I started, was as the colour of the two bottom pieces in the photo, but when cut in half it was the clour of the top two pieces. It could be purpleheart, but I was not aware that it faded that much. Anyone got any ideas? Also the identity of the piece at the top of the picture would be handy as well. I think it's an exotic.
