Pen and Box for my newly adopted Russian Grandson

[rlh]

This is a special pen and box that I am giving to my newly adopted Russian Grandson. The box was engraved by Ken Nelsen using his full color engraving process. It is awesome! I turned the pen from a Russian Olivewood Burl blank from BB. It was also engraved by Ken Nelsen. Comments welcomed.

Beautiful both. But the meaning is more touching.

Richard,

Your signature line says it all.

Alex turned 1 yr. old November 11th. He spent the first year of his life except for a couple of weeks in an orphanage in Siberia. He arrived in the USA Nov. 22nd. This pen set, when he is old enough to use it, will help him remember both his Russian heritage and his Grandfather. Thanks for your interest. [][]

very nice keepsake you are giving him. I hope he cherishes it as much as you seem to cherish him.

That is very nice. My two sons are adopted from Russia. My wife and I went over there two seprate times to get our boys. They were 14 months and 9 months old when we got them.

I'll have to give Ken a call and see if he still has that "setting" on his color engraver.
