Good Day!
I am getting ready to make a desk set for a friend at church. He is going to be the principal of a new christian high school that will be opening in September 08. The pens are not the issue as I have that pretty much in line, but what I want to do is on the base to have laser etched the logo of the school. I have attempted to get a hold of Kallenshaan Woods, but their site is not coming up as it keeps saying the sever is busy. So I figured that one of you may have done somthing similar to what I want to do.
My first question is in what condition do you send out your wood for the laser etching? Is it fully finished (CA done on the pens and/or the oil/poly finish on the base) or do you do the finish after you get it back?
Also, how about coloring in the etching? I know that Kallenshaan does color embedding, but I also see some people who do it them selves.
One more thing. Since is the first time I am going to be doing this, are there any other things that I need to consider in doing this project?
I know this is a bit broad, but the more information I can get coming in the better.
Here is a copy of the logo that I want to put on the base. Of course it will only have the logo and not the kids in the picture as I just copied this from the website. ( http://www,coronasaints.com )
Thanks.
