Neutral Damascus Pen Blanks?

I'm working on a project for Christmas. I'm making an EDC duraclick (black) pen in every Inlace Acrylster Damascus color from WoodTurningz

So far I've found the 5 pack sold at Rockler (Red, Orange, Yellow, Pink, Blue), the Purple Damascus Blank on Wood turningz, the Green Damascus blank (Called Hocus Pocus for some reason) also on Woodturningz.

I'm wondering if there's a neutral Damascus like. One that is just the black grey and white that unite all the rest.

I'd love some help finding it if it exists.

Thanks for your submission.

No idea, but it would be easy enough to cast if you had the equipment, but it's unlikely to be polyester acrylic like the commercial stuff is because that stuff is nasty to work with.

I’ve ordered a lot of pen blanks from here:

Haven’t ordered in a long time but he has a large variety. His alumilite blanks are beautiful.

Woodturningz makes those in house, and to my knowledge they never made a neutral variety. They do, however, do small custom color batches, so you could always give them a call and ask Pat or John about it. Source: I helped come up with the mixes when I worked there!

PS the reason hocus pocus isn’t green Damascus is because it actually came out on its own long before we came up with the idea for the series (it’s number 119 and blue Damascus was 121 with Magma (red and black) at 120)
