Wedding gift for my son

[ross51]

A wedding gift for my son and new daughter-in-law. The wedding is July 29. I will give it to them after the wedding. The date may help him remember the anniversary. Keep him out of trouble.
Cocobolo and a penstate pen, can't remember the model.

Critiques and comments welcome.

A very beautiful present, great work Ross.

Very nicely done. I'm sure he will love it. Reminding him of the date is a good idea too. My anniversary is the day after my brother's birthday and my wife's birthday in on Valentines Day. I love easy to remember dates.

Thanks for looking and the kind remarks.
The pen kit is from Penstate PK10-FP2 with CA finish.
The base was finished with Deft.

Exsquisite (sp?) work. I'd love to know if you did the engraving yourself.

BTW, Where do you people come up with all these awsome ideas???

 

[Jerryconn]

Very nicely done and very thoughtful!

What a wonderful gift. Isn't it great when you know that what you have made has just become a family heirloom.

The engraving was done by Akulazik in Spring TX. www.akulazik.com. The PIC's don't do it justice. It looks better in person. Pictures are not my strong suit
