I recently turned a pen for a friend who lost her mother to brain cancer. Since Grey is the standard color for Brain Cancer Awareness, I searched and found a Dyed Spalted Tiger Oak blank which combined with the PSI Clear Crystals Cancer Awareness Kit yielded a very meaningful token of art.
I am now faced with a similar situation, this time for Ovarian Cancer (for which the accepted color is Teal and am having a hard time putting it together. I do not turn acrylics or other synthetic materials, confining my efforts totally to wood.
I welcome all suggestions from the group that might help me find the 'right' combination for this special project, keeping in mind that this is just not 'another pen', but one that has sentiment and a purpose. My envisionment is using a wood like Tiger Oak but embedding a band or ribbon of teal colored material into the length of it.
All insight will be deeply appreciated. Thank you.
