Jim, I've made pens from six of the pikemakers.org rods so far...here's what I've found: the Zebra, Black Rose, Chocolate Mint and Cumberland rods are very color-dense and don't require the tubes to be blackened (IMHO). The Caramel Ripple and Phantom Grey rods will have areas that are totally transparent and require tube coloring.
I try to avoid plastics blanks that are not completely opaque, so my tube blackening experience is limited...if pressed, I'll use a black Marks-A-Lot.
