Hi everyone Im still pretty new to pen turning but would like to make a segmented pen I think. Id like to make a band of a different colour that isnt a natural wood colour. Is there a way you would suggest that I could dye a wood suck as a maple and turn it either green or blue??

Does anyone have any suggestions on products or processes??

Thanks
Rob

If you decide to dye, then you should turn then dye. That way the coloring won't be 'funny' as you get deeper into the piece you have applied dye to(uneven saturation).

Bob has a pretty good idea, PR chunk segmented right to the wood.....
