Furniture, Wood and Cabinetry Finishing - Purple Heart Wood

Any suggestions regarding the type of finish to use on this wood. I have heard that it will brown if the proper finish is not used. Also any finish suggestions for Quilted Maple. I have never worked with either wood B4 - Thanks....

Lacquer finishes work well with most woods, and purpleheart is especially suited for lacquer. Lacquer works well on most woods. I would use it on quilted maple as well. Deft makes a good brushing lacquer, if you are not equipped to spray lacquer. Hydrocote makes a water-based lacquer substitute. I would be inclined to consider the Deft lacquer over the Hydrocote for first time users.

Lacquer is a material that burns easily, so be sure to follow the precautions on the container for a safe environment and technique for applying lacquer.

Hope this helps.

THanks for info - i will give it a try..
