I put two coats of clear outdoor polyurethane of the three pieces. It really had no impact on the stained poplar. And I have included a picture of the purpleheart after the coating.

Tomorrow I have another appointment at the library and will etch a piece of the walnut. we will see how it looks.

That's really beautiful, love that!!!

Well, I made my Monday appointment.

First I had a 1/4"x6"x18" poplar board I had stained with red barn stain. The machine refused to etch the board. Staff said it was to wet.

Next I tried a 1/4"x3"x18" piece of walnut. I was pleased with it. see picture.

Lastly, I tried another piece of poplar, a different piece. Machine rejected it also.

I liked the purple heart etching so much that I decided to order two more board 5" wide for the wide side of the column. They came today, however, the boards were not purple hear but were blood boards. Very red. I checked the order invoice and I had checked the wrong box. However, I really like them. We'll see how the engrave. I will post picture later.

Why the name varies​

The term “bloodwood” refers to trees that either:

• Have red heartwood (e.g., Brosimum rubescens), or
• Produce red kino (a resinous exudate) when damaged (e.g., some Corymbia species)
