A friend of mine is about to retire and I thought I would turn him a pen as a small gift. He recently gave me a cherry log from his woods. I have the log cut up and I made myself a few pen blanks from it. Is there a "best" way to enhance the color of cherry wood? I usually use a CA finish on my pens but this will be the first pen with cherry. I want the wood to really stand out if possible. I had thought about trying some light red dye.......or would that ruin it? The blank does have some grain to it so maybe CA will be the best I can get.
