Rainbow Trout Wood Blank

[jnwoodworks]

Good evening,

I have a client who is wanting a pen with a wood species that somewhat resembles the scale pattern and speckling on a rainbow trout. I know there are pen blanks with fish inlaid into them, but I'm looking for more of an actual type of wood that would have a similar pattern (knots, coloring, etc) as the scales.

Is there anything like that out there? Or is that a pipe dream?

Thanks for the help!

Might want to look at lacewood.

Lacewood and dye it green and brown.
