Phil,
Experiment a bit with the temperature. I suspect that oven thermometers are far from precise.
I got a nice gold at 500 degrees and it progressed up to darker bronze tones at 550.
Doing all the parts together (except the blade, of course) results in uniform coloration. Make sure the parts are clean, without any oil or even fingerprint marks.

Kelly, are we talking about minutes, hours or should I plan to time this with a calender?

Phil,
The ones I have done I've cooked for an hour, just enough to ensure even heat throughout. Check out this thread for some info on colors attainable:
