My son will be getting his Eagle Scout rank soon, so I cast and turned this little gem for him as a gift. Hope he likes it!:)

It's a full size Gentleman with blue fiberglass as the background.

That's a great accomplishment for your son! My congratulations to him and hope he enjoys future "Eagles Nests". It also requires a lot of support from the family, so all of you should be congratulated as well.

The pen is outstanding and I'm sure he'll treasure it.

Congratulations! That is an outstanding and noble achievement. And quite a handsome pen.

May I ask where you found the FG blank?

Thank you!

Thanks Tony!

I made the blank myself. I used Alumilite, blue fiberglass sleeving from "Soller Composites" and the Eagle Scout emblem is a metal medallion. I just employed the same techniques you would use on any "tube-on" casting.:wink:

The kit is a "Gentleman" from Craft Supplies USA.

Thats a great pen for a kid that has really achieved a tremendous accomplishment. I am a former boy scout and I only made it to life scout which was alot of work. What people dont realize is less than .1% of scouts ever make it to eagle because it is so much work. The rank I made it to was one short of eagle and it would have taken me years to get my eagle so I have a great respect for any child who earns that rank. He must have alot of determination and discipline (which he probably learned from his parents) so well done and congratulations for a fine pen but especially for a fine son. I am sure he will appreciate the pen and some day he will realize how proud you must be. Enjoy the moment!

As an Eagle scout myself I congratulate your son and his family. The rank of Eagle is something to be respected and he will carry it with him the rest of his life. It can open doors and proves that you have the stick to it ness to get the job done.
