Dying some FOG wood

[mlconnelly]

While I was with Brooks803 (Jonathon) the other day we worked on stabilizing some FOG wood that I found in a soggy spot below our barn. I actually picked it out as a possibility to use in last months PITH. It is spalted maple and we double dyed it with pink and purple. As soon as my wife saw the finished pen it got hijacked so I had to work on something else for the PITH. I thought it finished up great on a gold and gun metal cigar. Let me know your thoughts.

What did you use as a pink dye? I am planning to dye wood for breast cancer pens.

Wow that came out nice! Can't blame Joy for wanting to keep it. The blank you are using for a prop looks like it'll be really nice to!

Mike, nicely done! The fun part is in the turning to see how the dye took to the wood. Thanks for showing it.
