Retirement pen

[Charlie_W]

Here is a pic of a pen that is headed out for engraving.
Amboyna Burl/CA on a Majestic Jr. Roller ball.

It is for the superintendent of our county's school system. He is retiring after 47 years. He attended school here, came back as a high school English teacher, became assistant principal, principal and moved up to Superintendent.
My wife has been teaching in the county for 29 years and my mom had 39 years as well.
My wife wanted to do something special for him and his service to our county and education.

I think he might like it!

Thanks for the comments.
I think this was a nice match up between the blank and the component set.

Thanks everyone so much for the favorable comments.

It is nice when you make a pen that you, yourself can stand back, look
at it and not see little faults here and there but rather take pleasure in saying:
"Well Done!".

I will post another pic when I get it back with the engraving.
