I have several short left over pieces of turquoise trustone with the black web, I think it was called turquoise 20 maybe. I haven't turned any other trustone. What would a) look good with the turquoise and b) turn similarly to the turquoise? I'd like to make something with these left overs, but I don't know what to segment in with them. Just butting the pieces together won't look as good as it would with some contrasting material segmented in. I have 4 pieces about an inch long. I am envisioning a narrow band sandwiched between turquoise pieces on the upper and lower barrel of a nicer slimline or maybe a cigar.
What would look good with turquoise trustone?

Aluminum and ebonite.
+1^.
Another idea...it's been a long 6 days of work so don't trust my thought process :wink:...Maybe some copper since the patina it develops is a turquoise color?

Copper, Aluminum, or brass all look good with Turquoise. I think the Tru-Stone you might have is #120P - #20 with Black Matrix. That's the one I was selling at least! And any of those combinations would look good on a matching Southwest Pen kit.

Old thread, I know...but I just saw it.
Here are a couple I made w/ Turquoise Trustone. The Triton is Black Walnut and the Stratus clickers are Black Walnut and (i think) Red Oak.

The one I have been planning uses German silver, elk antler and turquoise Tru Stone. I'll get at it soon, I hope.

Turquoise is like bacon - it goes well with just about anything.

You can add black to that list also. Black will go with anything and it has a rich look to it.
