Brown here

Looks brown to me from here but like you said, conversion from real life to monitor can be a problem. I bought an acrylic a while ago (pretty sure it was from Carroll's?) that was white, yellow and burgandy. The first thing I thought of when I saw it was the Bronco's. I have looked at a few suppliers sites but can't find any pics of the blank. If I still have it and can find it in the shed then I will post a pic. Not the same as making the blank but might be one possible solution.

Corbs

and another brown

yep, brown for mine.

i've always said that the maroon that the bronco's and qld origin team wear is a dark shade of purple, so maybe that is something to aim for.

nice pen all the same.

*sigh*

That's what I was afraid of. It's only red & blue mixed together as it is. More blue would make it blue-purple, not red-purple.

The picture in the casting thread about separating colours is my 2nd attempt, which is a lot redder, but I'm yet to turn it to see what the finished result is. May have to end up looking for a properly mixed pigment to match. Why doe sit always seem every time someone wants a custom pen, I end up spending about 3x on material etc than what I actually get paid by them....

Browns my pick too

I have seen a nice bronco accrylic from mark at o43turning if you are interested and i think you can find it on his web site.

Cheers Ian

Hereford brown.

Brown from up here

Nice looking pen but I would be going for the colours red and green if it was me they make a much better team IMHO

Brown from here too. Though everything on the easters seaboard has a brown look to it these last few days

It is a deep, maroonish brown though, if that helps

Cheers,
Dave
