Thanks Mark ! I thought about staining one of these . Maybe the next one . Glad you pitched in for the troops . Thanks .Yes, that looks like Lyptus. I turned one last night for the troops.
To the best of my knowledge, It's a Hybrid Eucalyptus wood. It actually has some really nice grain, when stained. Nice pen.
Thanks for the tip Mark ! I'm leaning toward food coloring myself .FYI: I tried a butterscotch and a light chestnut stain, that I got from work. They both made the grain stand out. I tried a Walnut stain and it was just too dark. The blank started looking solid again. Just my $.02:biggrin:
Next time I'll see what the food coloring does.
I do not have pix, so it didn't happen, but that was my experience with the Lyptus. :wink:
Thanks Bree , I certainly hope it does .That will make a soldier very happy! Great job!
