Angela,
I would think that would be too much green. It would be great for a St. Patrick's Day pen though. It was really easy to do, with dye I got from Nils.
I don't like how the nib end is slightly rounded. I wanted to sand it flatter, or turn it more, but I would have lost the color. That's what I get for rushing. I did need the pan that day. He loved it too. He is a student from Japan, so I told him, "If anyone asks how they can get one, tell them I sell them for $30.00."
That would be awesome. They're only here for 3 weeks, but I hope I get at least a few orders. I'm back up to speed. I made a barrel for an engraver to test with, out of curly maple, with lacquer finish. It took me about 15 minutes to turn and finish. 3 coats of lacquer sprayed on and buffed in. Well, two buffed and the third had a slight splatter, so I very lightly buffed it. I like the lightly glossy finish.
