Purple dyed Maple burl desk set.

Beautiful! The finish looks like it is covered in a liquid - so shiny! What finish do you use?

Your co-worker should be over the moon.

Wow, very nice! The purple dye looks really nice, sometimes I think dye is a bit gimmicky, but you struck a nice balance. Looks like the mythical purpleheart burl. Well done

Sanded to #800 then EEE Ultra shine and 8 coats BLO AND medium CA finish. I let everything cure overnight then wet sand 3200-12000 and buff with plastic polish.
