The last blue one I'm going to do for now, I'm going to start selling off these blanks now that I've got a handle on what the finished product looks like. All these blanks come out of the pot looking so different, it's hard to tell what's underneath!
Time to move on to a few more colors. The violet ones turned out really pretty, but I've not made any pens with it yet. I'm in the process of a red one and a goldenrod one, both promise to be nice with the flame/hard wood streaking.
I haven't been able to figure out why yet, but this wood seems to turn much easier after it's been dyed. Maybe the DNA? Dunno, could be because I finally got the grinder and my tools are sharper more of the time. [?] *shrugs*
This is a copper slimline per customer's request, finish is CA/BLO (of course!)
