I have been making FSU Pens and Pencils using the following food color dye.McCormick Food Color (four basic colors)
Florida State University
Garnet=7 drops of Red and 1 drop of blue
Gold=Deco Art Metalic Gold #DA071

University of Florida
Orange=6 drops of yellow and 1 drop of red

I only use maple wood to make the pens and pencils because of advice received from the good folks here.
Sorry I did not take a picture of the FSU to show...I do have picture Florida pen.

Kevin, Woodcraft has a acrylic blank for the Gators. I don't know if they have others, but you might want to check there.

Ray, Are you dying the wood?? Just want to make sure I'm
understanding your post. I too have got some requests fro FSU
Pens. Kinda traitorous to me since I'm a Hard Core Gator but I'll
take their money!!! lol

I dye the maple pen blanks per color desired...I do this with the lathe running and dye on rolled up shop towel...I have a picture of the desired color that I dye until I match..Dont't have FSU picture but this is Florida, Ray
