engraving examples

[gwisher]

I was wondering if anyone has an example of a pen that they sent out to be engraved and where they sent it to. I have a customer who wants an acrylic pen engraved but I want to see how it looks before I go ahead and tell him yes I can. Thanks!

Here is one I had engraved locally in Houston.

An acrylic pen will need to be filled. The laser does a great job, but you end up with a 'frosted' look that is hard to see. Use a filler and it looks great. (I use gold leaf Rub-n-Buf, or something from Hobby Lobby).

Click the link to my "photos". The "Its a Girl" pen is pink corian I sent to Tony at Pen Works for engraving and filling.

I have also sent an acrylic pen to Ken at (Kalleshann sp?) for engraving and filling.

Both live up to their good reputations.

I like the look of those "Its a Girl" pens. After they are "filled" do you need to do any special finish on them or is the filling permanent in itself?

This is the one I sent off to:

I was quick, inexpensive and a great job. Engraved the pen and the box. The box was bought from them also.

Heres a couple I just had done at KallenshaanWoods. The first is a wedding set and the second is an organization logo. He did the boxes as well.

I finish the pen first, then send for engraving. Once filled, just rub off the extra. That is it.

I've had several pens engraved by Constant at Lazerlinez and have been very satisfied with his work.
