I'm doing a bunch of mills for a commercial client. Have a nice cherry blank with a cool design opportunity. Can fill it with turquoise or red coral. What say the collective?

Black epoxy. ;)

Personal preference, but I think turquoise or coral would make it look hokey. (I know a lot of folks would strongly disagree with me on that, though.)

I agree with Vaughn. :eek:

The epoxy will blend right in, and give a natural appearance. The coral or turquoise would look a bit garish to me.

Actually, you wouldn't even have to dye the epoxy. The dark occlusion in the cherry would provide the dark appearance for the epoxy.

I agree...although adding pepper like Ed Thomas suggested sounds kinda cool too! :)
 
If they were going to the eastern part of the US I'd say red. We don't much like the the turquoise look. Except for the weird guy ( we call him "hopalong":crazy:)who lives in the town next door that wears a cowboy hat and boots and has a pick up truck with cow horns on the hood, But you western folk seem to put it on, in, and around everything :D:chair:
