Anyone dye a rosewood fretboard with that Higgins Ink?

[bhuard75]

Anyone dye their rosewood fretboard with that higgins fountain pen black india ink? How did it come out? Did it significantly darken the wood comparable to an ebony board? I know they dye those too

Thanks.

Use a Minwax Ebony stain pen. Works like a charm.

Hmmm. I should've tried that. I used a different Minwax stain I had laying around and it only made it tad darker. I'm going to try that pen.

Fibbibings black leather die. On a few squires. Works great, just take time and be careful. Shit doesn't come off of anything once you touch it with it.

It works great. Turns rosewood almost black but looks natural.

Did you do a whole fretboard with 1 pen? Put tape over the frets?

Easily do whole board, maybe 2. Wiped right off the frets and inlays, but they weren't clay. Pen edge is pretty sharp so I got minimal on the sides of frets.

Fiebings black leather dye is what I used on my Warmoth build (both as the black stain for the body and to darken the ebony fretboard. Worked great!

What's with the obsession with ebony boards I much prefer rosewood & maple
