Looks great. Give the dog a sedative next time you might not have the moving around problem. LOL

Great looking pen. I am thinking of trying that. Do you think it will work on Ash? I have a bunch that I can't get rid of.

I used to dye my ash tool handles, the only problem with ash is the open grain, but it soaks up dye nicely

Zander the pen looks great the dog deserves a union scale treat,

:rotfl:

It's a beautiful pen. Do you color it after you turn it or before?

(What a great background!!!!! I wonder it I cou ld get away with it . . . on my cat. LOL!):rotfl:

ash should work, curl stands out and maple takes a good dye so i like curly maple best.
i turned and sanded to like 600 then applied dye, buffed till color stopped coming off on towel, and applied 14 coats of CA

thanks all, CSue, give it a shot lol
