Tiffany colored blank

[Texas Turning]

Does any one know where to purchase a blank that is a close to the teal/turquoise color that Tiffany & Co uses?

An option could be a Cool Mint Water blank from Beartooth Woods and back painting the hole with a matching paint to the Tiffany color. Lightly sanding the hole will help get a smooth finish.

When turned down to the pen dimensions the blank is almost clear with just a slight mint green tint. The back painting will give you the color you are looking for. Another option is to use a clear blank with the same technique.

I found one 4 years ago when I first started, and made it for my niece. This was probably the 10th pen I ever turned. I have had several requests for the same. I had one of our suppliers try to make them for me and every one of them cracked when when insert the parts.
This was just plain AA, but don't remember where I bought it. I would buy some if I can find these.

What about a painted tube with a clear cast?

It appears to have some very subtle white streaks in it. I have a couple. If you think you would like one and would use it, I'll send one to you.

m3mokume.com has a tiffany blue and gold material. The only photos I could find were on their facebook, but it's an option when you go to select the color to order.
