All I can say is Wow!
Does it retain it's color after it turned?
Sure hope you post a few pictures after you turn it.

[Anthony Cayll]

Unfortunately, no. It will end up turning a shade of brown.

[Peter Blair]

Even though, it still has some spectacular grain!

[Brian Kent]

Beautiful. If only those colors could be captured in electron patterns so we could remember them.

[Jon Lanier]

Wowzers... there is some really pretty pen blanks in there!

[Bob Bergstrom]

There is more red than white. Time for some red dye to maintain some of that fabulous red

[Dennis Nagle]

That is absolutely beautiful.

TransTint red works very well when properly diluted and painted over the original red. I recently stabilized and enhanced the red in the base of this vessel with TransTint to ensure that the color would not fade.

I love working with Box Elder. That's some nice looking stuff.

I also love working with box elder. Never understood why it's considered trash wood
