I recently made a series of Statesman pens for Subaru to use as gifts for the owners of their dealerships.
I bought blue dyed Buckeye burl and further dyed it on the lathe to try to match the Subaru blue, and then had the logo engraved on each pen in silver to match the silver of the logo.
it seems I was one short, so they asked for another last week, here it is before being engraved and the series of pens I finished with the engraving. I charged $180 per pen.
The finish is spray lacquer. I would have done CA but only recently mastered that finish, so in order to make sure it matched the rest of them, I stuck with the lacquer finish.
