I accept variations, but calling something “blue
” when it’s a pukey off-yellow with a trace of a blue-ish tint isn’t fair play or “truth in advertising" to my way of thinking.
Well, as you will undoubtedly learn, natural materials do not all look the same. If you want that, you should stick with the acrylics, delrin, or micarta.
Camel bone has a tendency to take dye in unpredictable ways.. go back and look at the variations in the antique goldenrod on last years' run of the 92 Eureka Jack.
Sometimes you can exchange for something more to your liking, but most of the time, it's the luck of the draw.
Shoot, even good old rosewood can be as varied as night and day.. I've seen some that was almost blonde, and some that looked every bit like ebony.
I have a 66 calf roper in "hemlock green" jigged cow bone, that doesn't have even a hint of green in it. It looks brown.
