OK changed out the picture ....these are better!
Here's one I tried today.
Curly Maple with food coloring, CA finish.
I need a little practice on proportioning the colors but I was satisfied for a first try. The top part is Blue but I don't think the picture reflects that, at least on my monitor.
All comments welcome.

That's really cool. The guitar player in me would love to see a maple pen done in a nice tobacco sunburst or cherry sunburst. I may have to try this. Well done!

Top colour shows as blue here. First picture shows the bottom colour going from red to a dark purple but the second picture shows light red to a darker red which is likely closer to the real thing. The blue does show up in the pictures and the pen looks great.

Thanks for all the kind comments! Anthony I used Gel food coloring applied and blended while the the blank was spinning on the lathe.

Your pen is really, really nice. I like the way that the colors meld together from one to another. I have used food coloring for dying and really like how it works. Where did you get Gel food coloring, I have never seen it before.
