Good job on the purple heart.  Very nice contrats between the belly and backing.

Nice!
Is there any trick to keep the vibrant color?
I have seen some older ones and they are a bit dull.

I was told by warpath to use a 50-50 mix of boiled linseed oil and denatured alcohol one coat, wait 24 hrs and do another coat 50-50 mix, wait 24 hrs and use a coat of straight boiled linseed oil, after that dried I used 2 coats of tung oil then paste wax two or three coats
