This newly turned Osage Orange bottle stopper has a USMC enlisted dress blues collar insignia countersunk into the top, and then encapsulated with clear resin.

That's a nice one Ed. You got me looking for an Army button now, for a gift to a relative. Thanks for the idea.

Andy, I'm so glad to see your Oo ra!...I keep hearing BOO-ra on Cramer's Mad Money CNBC show and it drives me nuts. Only a former jar-head would know the difference.

John, I'm making these turning blocks with the encapsulated thingies on top and wholesaling them to a popular (un-named) retailer. These 3-D one's are brand new and still in the experimental stage, but I think they'll be pretty popular.

Semper Fi! :D

Being new to turning I hadn't thought of that yet but know of a guy who is doing something similar with metal motorcycle grip and foot pegs.. Still in the design and mock up stages, I beginning a chopper project for myself which will be Marine Corps themed. Using EGA's where ever I can among a good amount of custom paint and fabricated parts. And no, it isn't a Harley.:eek: Not this one anyway!!! (I have been considering wood inlays for the next build!!)

Ooo Raah!
