This was made from one of those slabs of Manitoba Maple (Box Elder) burl sent to me by Bruce (gofer). I dyed it green with food coloring and CA/Blo Finish, on a ti/gold & gunmetal Le Roi.
Food coloring did THAT!!!!!!!!! Wow, I would have never figured. Nice looking combination!
You keep calling the pen Le Roi, I thought it was a Sierra until closer inspection. Where do you get these kits?
That is a very sharp looking pen. Two question though; 1) Does using food coloring to dye with raise the wood grain? 2) Is a Sierra and a Le Roi the same kit with just a differnt name or are they two seperate kits?
The pen looks great Sharon ... I love the fact that I am seeing others make things out of that big burl before I have done anything other than cut it up.
Have you tried any other colors using that dying method?
