I've had this piece of Purpleheart for years, and I've never had Purpleheart "bleed" like this. It's at 5% moisture content. If I sand it, the bleeding comes back within a short time.
Question...Can the bleeding be stopped when finishing? Perhaps by hitting it with shellac first? I don't want to use this piece if the bleeding will just return in weeks, months or years.
