engraveing help

[dozuki]

I have a customer who just came up to me and asked if he could have a pen engraved by Christmas. i personally couldn't engrave my way out of a paper bag but I know where to go for help. Does anyone have a sugestion for an engraver? Thanks for the help

I would recommend Ken at Kallenshaan Woods. He always does good work and is VERY fast. Here is a link.

Ken Nelsen at Kallenshaan Woods -- http://www.kallenshaanwoods.com.

Excellent work and excellent customer service.

I understand Ken does excelent work and is a pleasure to deal with, but if you are in a hurry you might want to find a maker of sport trophies in your area. Most do laser ingraving and can get the pens done in a day or two.

IF all he wants is his name on a pen, I might risk it on someone whos never done one. Burning a round barrel is different from engraving on flat stock. If the engraving requires anything more than a name, Call Ken!

I agree with Larry. Some engravers will not do round surfaces, and Ken is very quick and does outstanding work.

Ken does excellent work so does Mike and Jen of woodnthings. I have had great results from both. I had a engraver that went out of business. So I wanted to keep the working within the IAP. Mail is no problem just donot use KINKOS-FEDEX they have the worst customer service I have seen.

Ken is excellent. Another choice is www.writenthings.com - that's Mike and Jen Aminson, who are members here (as is Ken). Between the two of them, I'm sure you'll find the right place to do the engraving.
