I've been doing a renovation at a client's house and after the job is over, I like to give them a pen (made from the wood of the house if it's a Century Home or older). This is a new house so I'm doing a Lignum Vitae for the father, a Koa for the mother and the daughter is getting her Master's in Special Education focusing on the Autism Spectrum. I don't want to do the whole puzzle piece pen - just a maple blank with a single black puzzle piece.
Anyone ever tried that before or have an idea how to do it? Turn down the blank then carve out a puzzle piece then fill it with epoxy?
BTW, I have a commission for a Nakashima table and there is a large black occlusion in the middle of the wood where the grain forks. I'm going to fill that with black epoxy. What do you mix with epoxy to color it black? Oil paint, latex, ????
