but I'm not too thrilled with the pen. It's cypress that I vacuum dyed using black fabric dye. This is what it looked like before and after turning. You can see how black the blank is (right of the turned barrel).
The cypress is just a bit too soft for my liking (dropped it about 5 inches while assembling and got a small dent in the lower barrel). Black Chrome Berea Cigar, CA finish.
I also dyed some Maple, Ash and Sycamore. Hopefully they'll turn out like this. They all sank after three days, so I'm hopeful.
