Here is the picture of the Purple Heart Lumber per request. The photo does not capture the true beauty of the wood. He has to keep it sealed until he uses it because it will oxidize and turn gray. I will try to get him to take a picture of it when he opens it. Once he seals it, it will not oxidize and the color will be enhanced.
Caleb has made friends with a local man who sells used tools. He has been blessed with some fabulous deals and a lot of encouragement.
For the last year, he has been sharing his woodworking pictures with the dental hygienist at his orthodontist's office. The lady told him recently she really enjoys talking with him because he reminds her of her father who lives very far away. Every time Caleb goes for an appointment, she asks for new pictures of what he's been working on recently. During the last visit, she asked him if he would be willing to help her with some handyman projects around her home that she can't handle herself.
