Color dyeing experiment

[KenB259]

This one was more of an experiment more than anything else. I was curious on whether a stabilized blank could then be dyed. All in all I'm happy with the result. It was stabilized clear, turned to size and then dyed with blue trans tint dye. CA finish. I had intended on doing a custom finial, but this particular kit doesn't allow it, it's one piece. The pen is a Citizen.

Looks great Ken. Looks like you got good, even color penetration across the whole blank. Did you soak the blank in the dye, or just apply it topically?

I just wiped it on, no soaking.

That came out really nice! Was the gingerbread house another experiment?

Gingerbread was my wife's doing. She and a friend had a gingerbread house making day.
