That is a nifty pen!! Good match up of blank and kit.[^]

Thanks for the comments.The kit is pearl silver.I have used Rit dye with denatured alchohol in the past but this time decided to try woodburst which is really a stain.The woodburst will soak in and dry rather quickly if you apply it as though it were a friction polish.
