Did Something Change At CSUSA?
I have long used the crimson red blanks (050-0101) from Craft Supply USA. This is my best selling acrylic over all my others combined. This week I was working through some orders and I found an old blank I must have bought 4-5 years ago, it was at the bottom of a box of other blanks. It looked intense to me in rough and when I finished it I was amazed what I saw. I compared it to my current inventory of the same blanks and it looks so different.

The lower pen is made with my most recent shipment of blanks, the upper is the older one.
I am wondering, has something changed over the years and I just noticed this now? I make 80-100 pens a year with this acrylic and I do not remember the blank changing in look, so is this just a one off or did the supplier to CSUSA change their mix?
Thanks
