That's really neat. Could one mount an LED for illumination in the base?

Beautiful work. Way too delicate for these old hands and tired eyes. The couple will cherish the gift for many years. Congratulations.

Thanks everyone!
Fred - There is a hole in the base where the egg guts were removed, so one could put an LED light down there to light the interior. There are LED egg stands on the market, but in this case I procrastinated to long to get something like that. I should probably just order a couple of them to try when doing photos.

Your eggs look really good Eric. Something else you can use your engraver for is engraving into your pens. I have used mine to do stuff like that, then fill it with epoxy
Good idea, I had not considered epoxy. I had been thinking about getting

I've seen folks use these to fill in the pierced areas to create a stained glass look.
So far the only thing I've tried with this tool on a pen is stippling patterns then airbrushing with an interferance color to create shimmering colors only where the bur touched wood.

Beautiful work. Isn't that a pen stand?:wink: I could not hold a tool still enough to cut a straight line. That will make a gorgeous wedding gift.

Thanks again everyone.
TexasTaxi - I use the NSK Presto to perform the carving on eggs and turnings

Think air powered dental drill at 320,000 RPM (Dremel by comparison tops out around 30,000 RPM so this is almost 11x faster)
