Hello everyone finally getting to do some woodworking!:D
I have been wanting to use the Bethlehem Olivewood pen blanks since I won them a few months back they also gave me 2 pen boxes. And the first person thats getting one is the Preacher at Church I have the pen finished and on the box I would like to personalize it with his name, the name of the Church, how long he has Preached there!
I only have to this Sun to get it done!
My writing skills suck so thats out!
I also thought about using one of those brass plates like a trophy shop can make but I think it will look bad!
Any Sug?
Here is a pic of them

Get thee over to Keith's shop in Hampton Rhodes and have him laser engrave them for you. It would likely be a fun trip, too...

I guess the chopper is in the shop this week, eh? :D

Check in the Laser forum to see if there is anyone closer to you.

Jim,

Search your local area businesses for someone who has a laser engraver. Olivewood engraves very nicely. Start with the "trophy" places

Nice pen , but you know me the box is the important thing. I really like the looks of that. At least two prayers should be offered in your name for that box.
