I had a posting about two weeks ago asking for ideas and opinions concerning a pen for a young ladies graduation gift.
The request was for a pen with some type of
Grey Burl
& Turquoise inlay initials
The Burl Box was to have the
School name & logo
Her name
and Graduation date.
They also wanted me to fill the Univ logo with Turquoise.
So here are the pics.
She absolutely loved pen
Her favorite stone is Turquoise (set in silver - so I used the Rho and Blk TI Majestic Jr.)
When I had the initials laser engraved on the pen, they did not go deep enough to do inlay work - They only took 2 passes, which you could barely see against the Grey and Blacks in the dyed burl anyway. Using my 500,000 rpm carving tool, I took my shaky hand to the almost finished barrel to get deeper cuts on the intials - I was impressed with myself - If you knew how badly my hands shake you might be impressed also. lol
It is a Majestic Jr. Rho & Blk Ti
Stabilized Black Boxelder Burl
I took the S. Crystal out and replaced it with a Faceted Garnet
The box is one of the Burled boxes from Timber bits
The pen has a CA finish
Any and all comments welcome and encouraged.
Thanks
