First time show off decal and single tube

[18111]

Hi all,
Here are my first successful decals and single tube pen kits. This is my first show off too. As a novice pen tuner, I've been practicing few dozen of slimline kits last few month, and now confident enough to upgrade little better kits. Pen kits are Elegant Sierra and blanks are cherry and Alumilite White I casted myself. These are gift for my wife's colleague's husband who once was two times world champion kick boxer. I have never met them but it is a request from SWMBO. I downloaded picture and logo from his web sit and made decals. I hope he likes them. Thanks for watching and any comments are welcome.

Lookin' good. Are you sure that's cherry? It sure looks a lot like maple.

Some freshly cut cherry is light in color but It will darken with age. I don't know if CA will prevent that. Thanks for looking.
