Elvis is back in the building. This is a commissioned piece for a die hard Elvis fan. It is a Jr Emperor with Alt Ivory blanks. I put the photo work together and sheet music (Can't Stop Falling In Love) together and Ken Nelson did my engraving. Along the bottom of the pen is an exact replica of Elvis' Signature.

I couldn't decide what photo's I liked... Black velvet background or the white. So I'm putting up several photo's.

Absolutely beautiful Grizz. Unfortunately SWMBO saw your creation and loved your work. Now guess what she wants? Keep up the great work and best of luck in your sales. Maybe you could contact the Elvis "reps" and get more pens commissioned, I bet that there are quite a few Elvis fans who would be interested.

Outstanding work all the way around! Congratulations. I am sure your customer will be very pleased.
IMHO The pen shows up better on the white background.
Thank you very much for sharing it with us!

Photo #4 got my vote. Excellent work but $300 is way too cheap. That is a $500 pen from what I have seen. Great kit match.

Outstanding! A Work of Art!

you know... it wouldnt take long to pay for an engraver, making pens of that sell for that kind of money!
