...we got a custom order for something strange, decided "hey, if they ask for it, we'll do it..."...
...purple stain on myrtle burl. 
Sounds like a bad idea right?
We didn't really know what would happen, but who are we to question someone's idea of "good"?
Strangely enough, well...you be the judge (we like it):
