Pen for a Friend

[Larry in Harrow]

In the early 90's a good friend, Mr. Fox, was opening a small business and asked me to draw up a logo he could use on his sign and paperwork. A couple of weeks ago his spouse ask me to make a pen/pencil set as a gift for him. I was surprised to find I still had the original AutoCAD drawing of the logo.
Mr Fox has always commented on the excess amount of bling in some of the high end kits I've been using so I needed something with less flash. These El Grandes seem to fit the bill. I hope he agrees.
The barrels are cherry burl with a couple brass segments. The fox heads are maple veneer and the finish is water born polyurethane.

WOW that has an amazing amount of shine. Cool logo too.

I am not sure which is more amazing: the quality of your segmenting, the inlays, the finish, and the overall effect, or the fact that you had and could find the original logo, or that you had a program that could read a file from the early'90s.
Great Work!
