Decal, and here in Nevada we do not get the muggies that go along with coastal areas. It is a sweltering DRY , bake your butt heat!

Hey Jan? Isn't the emblem on wrong?

In my mind...........the anchors should be at 45 degrees on the pen.
Of course......that is what this Marine remembers.......but then I am an old "Uncle Sams Misguided Children" from the 70's.

LOL

You may be right. I was Air Force! I can always change it! Reckon I was looking at the printing? Thanks for the info!

Easy fix

Painted Pen

I am new to pen turning but am having a blast doing it. Here is a new creation. I am also a painter so I am trying to incorporate painting. Here are two attempts.

This first one is based on a painting I did. You can see the painting and the pen.

The second one is one i painted and then carved into. These are a lot of fun to make because i get to incorporate painting into pen making. Argo13 has been a great teacher so thanks.

BINGO!

Nice Coast Guard pen. Realy top pocket. So sharp. Really hits the spot.
I have to ask. I have been looking for some U.S. Marine pens of the same style. If you know where I can get blanks to turn that would be great. Some how I have been blessed by knowing a number of good men and women who have served. I have always wanted to make them a pen.
