Purple & Gold and lighter wood

[pmpartain]

I have a client that wants purple and gold acrylic. I haven't looked much yet, but does anyone know of a brand/color that fits that bill? I have thought if that color acrylic is not around maybe a double dyed stabilized wood, or buy some purple and some gold stabilized blanks and segment.

Also, the same guy wants some pens in a lighter color wood with some wild grain. He likes curly maple color, but wants a heavier grain pattern. I have thought of zebra wood and olive wood, and have taken a recommendation to look at movingui. I hope I spelled that right.

Does anyone have any thoughts on this?

Thanks.

Bear Tooth Woods has some great acrylic selection. I am not sure if this is the kind of tone you want, but here is one.

or maybe

They have good prices and great service. Olivewood sounds good by the way.

How about maple from the crotch of a tree. That's where this one came from.

Might check with Brooks803. He came through for me on a couple of exact color matches.

Thanks everybody. I'll run down those leads. I like the maple a lot. This guy wants distinct lines from the grain. Pretty specific about what he wants. That's not a bad thing though.

Thanks again

Thanks Jimmie! I can make some purple/gold blanks if you don't find what you're looking for. All I'd need is the shade of each color and the ratio of purple to gold. Feel free to send a pm or post any questions you may have.

Take a look at some black and white ebony. Here is an example

Thanks Brooks 803. This fella is matching his old high school colors. I'll keep in touch if I get a better idea of what he wants.

Dennis, that is a great looking pen. I have had some of that wood before, but it didn't look anywhere near that good.
