BOW Jr Gent Pen Tubes

[wdcav1952]

I am finally ready to get back to posting some pictures. These are the special pens that Lou has been instrumental in helping me to make. The picture labeled My Jr Gent BOW Tubes will be my pen. The picture labeled Kuwait BOW Jr Gent Tubes were engraved by Ken Nelson of Kallenshaan Woods. Thanks for a great job, Ken. When assembled, the Kuwait pen will be presented to my wife when she comes home for two weeks of leave next week. That I am really looking forward to, but saying good-bye for several more months when she goes back is a bit of a bummer. Anyway, thanks to Lou's ideas and help, Nancy and I will both have BOW Jr Gent pens to write with. The winged emblem is the Dental Technician rating badge for the Navy, and the Kuwait map is obvious. Thanks for looking.

Very, very nice William. I am sure you both will enjoy the pens.

There's quite an amazing love story behind these...it was a pleasure to be able to contribute in a small way. My hat is off to Ken Nelsen who has done his usual, remarkable job with the laser engraving. All the best to my friends William and Nancy.

Very nice, William, and Ken did a great job! She and all of our service men and women will continue to be in our prayers! Particularly those in harm's way.

Those are really nice and should have lasting memories! Very well done!

William, welcome back! Best wishes to Nancy over in Iraq; like Billy B said, she, along with all the others there, are in our thoughts and prayers. Please be sure to say "thank you" to her for my wife and me.

Oh, and the pens look GREAT! Can't wait to see them assembled.

Great looking pens William. Tell your wife THANK YOU for me and my wife. And thank you for the sacrifice you have made. Our prayers are with all our military people.

Beautiful wood and finishes. I love the engraving and know we are praying for your wife and all of the troops.

Thank you for all the kind words. Thanks again to Lou and his NOT at all small contribution to this project, and to Ken for his work using images I found on the web. I'll assemble the pens this weekend and post the results.

Wait a minute.....you can't thank them yet, I haven't added my 2 cents. []

A vey nice couple of pens....for a very nice couple! Glad to hear your sweetie is coming for some much dserved R&R. I really like the Wing dental emblem.

Now, you didn't happen to take those pictures at RT's house ?? []

Enjoy her long deserved R&R. Thank her from me for what she is doing for our wonderful country and our troops in harms way. The pens are exceptional. You did an outstanding job and the engraving is exceptional.

While the subject has been covered, we can't say "Thank-you" often enough. Your pen is excellent and a great tribute to your wife's sacrifice (and the fact you miss her).

Your wife (and the other troops) really epitomize American courage. Words will never be adequate.

Best of luck to you both!

SWEET! She will love it!
