I need to make a whole bunch of black and red blanks. I have no clue how to do it. The pens that I'm going to make are shotgun pens and will have either a black or red top. I'm thinking that I could use something like RIT dye after the blank is turned ????? Will the dye be affected (wash out or run) when I put on the finish??? The blanks will be maple. I've been using shelawax or mylands. I'm trying to make these as inexpensive as possible so blackwood, ebony and other exotic woods are not possible. Any ideas???????
