Ok, so my fiancé bless her sole has just uped the level of difficulty for me. It was all set, all I was to do was to make 5 duchess pens all in wood with a decal on it of some sort with the date of the wedding as a present for the bridesmaids. She NOW says she wants a laminated pen, wood on the outside, with a line of sage green, white, and then sage green in the middle. I was looking for acrylics, and I can't find anything with sage green in it....any ideas? Might try looking at some veneers whilst I think about it but it's as far as my thinking takes me... any help gratefully received

One timber stands out - Muhuhu from East Africa. It is a distinctive pale sage green with a lovely spicy fragrance as well. Over time the colour tends to deepen somewhat.
Got loads of it, PM me if interested, bound to have a few thin offcuts

Timber from Tanzania home of the African Blackwood sounds exciting, it can be like rosewood difficult to glue. Great to see members helping members with exotic timbers.
