You may be right. Randy is kinda clever.
I think the purple wood is just an attention getter.
What he really wants you to see are the bowling alley shaft blanks.
He stained the wood purple; notice the rubber glove in the left background.
Well, it got my attention anyway. Lol
Bowling alley...NEVER AGAIN. I'm an idiot for not knowing it is tongue and groove. I bought it for a table top to put the Predator on... After bar stock, epoxy, lags, sanding, more epoxy, and the impossibility of moving it by myself....FML. I could have had a table custom welded or bought a piece of butcher block. It is 42x72x2.5 and weighs 300lbs(give or take). If you want some lanes, PM me and I'll tell you where to get them. think I paid 30-40 dollars per linear foot. MAN, there I go again....forgetting what I paid!! OH, I forget to mention smoking(not crack Joe B.) 2 thirty dollar router bits while channeling a "trench" to lay 1/2 bar stock to hold the thing together. Then drilling that bar, using 75 dollars worth of West and microballoons........
I'm sure I'm over 600 into it, plus a hell of alot of time...
I honestly don't know if that is Coco or Kingwood. I don't remember buying any Kingwood, but since it looked just like all the other pieces the guys could have mixed it up by accident.....
