So I Rit Dye'd My Straight Spine Stretch
Album link with the full story and dye detaIls.
I was hoping to make more of an Olive green, but I'm very happy with the results.
I'm happiest with Micarta and Tool Steel.

Very nice work Kenneth and Joe. I've got one I'm going to do in tan as soon as I finish the pickles in the large jar I plan use to to dye it.

Very cool fellas!
I just picked up an SSS and don't care for the Ivory color. May go for a RIT dye myself.
Maybe a brown or green although I do like that steel grey look too.

Thanks. It's the Rit DyeMore in Frost Grey. The spine is the same dye, in Graphite.
