A penturner by any other name...

[Steve Busey]

...would need one of these. I made one for Russell Eaton when he was going to do a pen demo at an area Rockler store a few weeks ago. Another local turner saw it and asked for a matching set. I also have my own, plan to place them on my sales tables this fall to give me "instant credibility"! :tongue:

Walnut, laser engraved, matte lacquer over the front to protect the face...

Wondering if you could be persuaded to make another one?:biggrin:

 

[flyitfast]

I bet there are a lot of folks that would proud to show one of these.
Any chance there will be an opportunity to order one in the future????? :wink: PM me if they might available.
That is a quality sign. Thanks for showing.

What laser are these burnt with, looks a really sharp image!

That's from an Epilog Helix laser. The current generation of lasers can resolve down to a few thousandths of an inch, so sharpness is the name of the game!

Dan & Gordon,

Thanks for your comments.

The thought crossed my mind, but I don't know what the level of interest is. I could probably handle a couple dozen orders in what little spare time I have, but would get pretty overwhelmed by upwards of 50 orders... :befuddled:

I think I'll post an ad somewhere over in the classified in the near future. Keep a watch out for it.

I will... And I would think you would get quite a few orders - possibly more than you want

 

[paintspill]

i love them. just out of curiosity, would one need permission to use that logo.

Yes, I checked with Jeff, and a commercial application (like selling branded nameplates) would require a reasonable licensing fee. It's not a deal breaker, by any means.

 

[longbeard]

I would be interested in a couple also. Those are very professional looking. Great job.

 

[Russell Eaton]

I WANT ONE!!!.. oh yea I have one already. They are real slick and it sit proudly on a shelf right beside my new mustard monster. Thanks again Steve.

 

[sbell111]

I'd likely buy a few also. That would make a nice 'surprise' gift for my wife, I believe.

 

[Fishinbo]

Exuding professional excellence and credibility.

"A few"? Does she have multiple identities? :wink::tongue::biggrin:

I'm all about exuding. :bulgy-eyes:

 

[triw51]

I would like a few if you are taking orders. Do you have a cost?

 

[firewhatfire]

Looks professional. Unlike me most of the time.

 

[Katya]

I'd love to get one for my dad, and one for me! Please let us all know if you decide to start selling these..

 

[Glenn McCullough]

I fear that my customers may see this, visit the IAP and request awesome pens from others instead of me...I prefer to keep you guys in my computer...but I still wanna believe you are real and i love this place!

 

[Haynie]

Not sure I would advertise using the name of someone who so notoriously sold his soul at the crossroads.

You never know when the devil gonna come collectin the debt:biggrin:

I was just listening to Robert Johnson when I opened this thread.

It's not showing the website, just the "credentials"... :wink:

Thanks Steve - I will definitely keep watch. Got some demos coming up and would be a great idea. Have you ever done them in Mesquite - kinda the wood of choice around here. I bet they would make great business card holders somehow.
Appreciate what you have to go thru to make them.

Gordon, I'm afraid the only mesquite I see around here is in small chunks that go in my smoker. I mean, it's not like the stuff grows on trees around here! :biggrin:

 

[kronewi]

I would buy one...or two.

 

[sbell111]

Well, I'd gift one to myself, also.

 

[joefrog]

Great idea. I have three high-end laser engravers here at work. I do believe I'll make myself one!
