I just finished up a few Christmas gifts that I made out of purpleheart. Unfortunately, due to all the cutting, sanding, etc. the "purple" has been mostly taken out of the "purpleheart". I realize that left exposed to UV sunlight, it will (supposedly) revert to its once regal color. However, and to the essence of my dilemma, we presently have very little, if any, sunlight and the forecast is not looking promising anytime in the near future. Do you think if I set it under an artificial light source it would speed the process up? If so, do you think it matters what type of light it is (e.g. fluorescent, incandescent, halogen, etc)?
