Robin's Egg Blue Pen Blank

[propencity]

I'm needing a blank (or 2) in this shade of blue. I have seen the turquoise blanks that are available in tru-stone but need to be able to engrave 2 lines on the barrel. And the turquoise with the gold/black web may get in the way of the engraved letters.

Any suggestions where I may be able to purchase a blank with this shade of blue? Double dyed on stabilized curly wood would be preferable; I'm having a hard time locating one to purchase.

Thanks
Mark

I bought a blue burl stabilized blank at WC. I think it is in there standard stock. At least in Orlando.

I have posted a pic. Closest I have seen is turquoise tru-stone.

The ones from WC are not that color. Thank for the picture. Not sure where to find that.

I think I have a couple pieces of box elder burl dyed & stabilized that color. I know they're a light blue but not 100%. I get home from vacation on the 3rd so if you haven't found anything by then I'll check my wood bin.

Thanks Jonathan. If you have them, please let me know. I would be interested in buying a couple.

I think I have a couple of PVC blanks that are very similar to that color as well. I'll check in the morning and if they're a match we can swap if you'd like.

Thank you everyone for your input and help. I have emailed Bruce on getting some of pvc water blanks; hopefully he has some more. This is appears to be very close to the color I am looking for. Has anyone engraved on these PVC water blanks? How did it turn out?

Here is a link to a Tru-Stone that might work and does not have the dark lines: Larimar

I have turned a pen in this and it look very nice, light color.

Waterpipe that Bruce used to sell. That blue looks pretty darn close.

15% of all males are color blind to a greater or lesser degree. That's why I take my wife's advice as to the color of something.
