I have a possible order for a bunch of pens for a groom's men. The buyer would prefer the wenge over the maple, but wants them to engraved with the wedding date. So he'll take the maple if it'll show better. I told him I'd look into possibilities for the wenge, so here I am...
So I have two questions...
The first is when to engrave them--before applying the CA finish or after?
Then...how to fill in the engraving with something that contrasts? Is there a way to engrave them then fill them with something white (talcum? something?), flooding it with CA, and then mounting on the lathe and applying CA finish to the whole barrel?
Does my question make any sense at all?
