I bought the Purpleheart for this project some time ago, and finally got to it this weekend. A scrollsaw and a bench sander made this project fairly quick,and the inletting on the right grip (for the inside bracket) was done with a router.
I'm really happy with the results. The color is more purple than the pics suggest, and the grain comes through nicely under the 8 coats of satin clear.
