Okay, so I have my small boxwood turning blanks drying and should be ready to turn them in a week or so. I noticed that the boxwood has a light chartreuse color () which isn't all that applealing to me. I would like to color the wood since it will be for pen and stopper blanks so I am looking for suggestions on what type of dye to use and when and how to apply it?

Re: Dye recommendations for turned boxwood

I turned a Boxwood hammer handle, and applied some BLO and got a really nice yellow color -
