OK, after all the great ideas I was given from my last laser engraved antler civil war pen, I decided to do another one. A thank you to Maxman400 for the battle scene picture, I worked for a couple hours with it on the computer, and even engraved it a couple times to test it, but the quality was so low that it just did not work. I will keep looking, thanks again Max. While I was looking for civil war battle pictures, I found this old train and thought it might look cool on the pen. It is hard to get a good look at it the way the picture is wrapped around the blank. It appears to be civil war era, but I am no train expert so I may be way off. This picture still took some photo shop enhancement, and I lasered it on the blank with low power two different times before I found a combination I liked. I turned the first two pictures off the blank reducing the diameter a bit. I started a bit overturned just in case. I am sure you will notice the under turn at the nib end. I am going to dis-assemble it tonight and build it up with ca and keep it for myself. All comments welcome and appreciated, thanks for looking.
