Thanks pj. No this is not a working truck. We have 2 other trucks for that purpose. I have built most of the furniture in our home, but I have never used purpleheart. I have alsways been fascinated with it though. Found some purpleheart for $4.49 a board foot. My son and I have tossed around the idea of using it and maple on the bed. I have used cherry a bunch. I built our kitchen cabinets and family room furniture out of cherry, so I know of cherrys' sensitivity to uv rays. I have some cherry already in our cab. So we may just stay with all cherry.
