The Curly Purpleheart Coffee Table!!
Very proud to share my version of a waterfall table. This was built from a single Purpleheart Curly Live edge slab from the tabletop to the pillars and bowties.
The slab has a large Crack which has been stabilized by the installation of 3 Curly Purpleheart Bowties.
On one end you will see large pillar feet holding up one side and the opposite is the remaining slab. The opposite side has been cut so that the grain seems seamless to the ground, giving the waterfall effect.
Purpleheart is one of the toughest woods in the world and is considered one of the stiffest, hardest woods with an impressive strength-to-weight ratio.
When freshly cut, Purpleheart is actually more a dull brown with feint purple overtones. Within minutes, these colors quickly change into a variety of different purple hues but generally mutate back towards a darker brown with purple tint with continued exposure to UV rays.
The table was finished with Osmo UV Finish. This is a UV inhibitor that will slow the process of purple degrading over time.
Special thanks to all who have been a part of this project!
