Hey guys, just wanted to throw this out there so that I know how to respond to my customer. I am currently working on a custom Cherry pen for a customer online. "he loves the color of true cherry" he says. So I sent him a swatch style image of cherry. He says he is looking for a darker cherry. Im working with some cherry that we salvaged right here in NC. My question, I get long winded sometimes, is I am concerned that he is looking for that "furniture Cherry" Like what results, i assume, from a cherry stain. Similar to the cherry boxes available from pen state etc. If this is the case, can I stain it? That seems like a silly question, of course I can stain it. But I wonder about any issues that may result. It will receive a CA finish, and then be sent off to Ken for engraving. While I think the resulting engraving would look great against the cherry stain, I will work to convince him to go with a natural cherry. I turned, sanded, and ca finished some cherry today to photograph for him, just want to be prepared and cover all my instances. Thanks Guys, I will look forward to getting this up in SOYP in the next 21 days, deadline!
