    Question Personalizing a Pen Box Need Help!

    Hello everyone finally getting to do some woodworking!
    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?

    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 and box. The preacher should be pleased.

    I have done so much with so little for so long I am now qualified to do anything with nothing......

    P.S. If you are interested in plans for any project that I post, just put some money in an envelope and mail it to me and I will keep it.

    Nice pen

    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.
