Fishers of men replacement

**RickG** · 11th February 2010, 07:46 AM

One of my customers either lost or had her pen stolen and wanted a replacement. This might slow down the loss a little for this one. BOW and CA finish. The printing was done on my laser printer. I printed a reverse image on paper and then applied that to the wood with heat and about 8 coats of CA over top of that for protection. She never asked for her name to be put on it and if she doesn't like it a little sanding will remove it and then just refinish. I think she will like it though.

I think so as well, it's the 2 tone chrome/black titanium here.

Pacifica Petroglyph Pen Kit (2 Tone)

I like this plating, Beartoothwoods also has this plating in the sierra click which is usually the one I get when I go for the click.

Yes, nice work there Rick. Well matched kit and blank.

That is a new one for me, when I do get back home I will give it a go thank you for showing us.

great looking pen mate

i always like the Black Ti finish, looks a treat with most woods

what did you use for the heat, i have used an iron before to transfere images for different things, but that was on flat bits of wood

I used the side of a soldering iron because that's what I had handy. I did run across a company on the web a while ago that made an iron just for this. Looked like a soldering Iron with a wider tip.

thanks mate, i didn't think of the soldering iron, i do intend to get some of those water slide transferes but for the price of them you really need to print a whole page at once

What a great idea... one question... how do you get the printer to print in reverse though?

you use the program to do it, microsoft publisher will flip word art boxes

**corbs** · 11th February 2010, 07:39 PM

damn... don't have publisher

Some laser printers have it as a function. I use paint shop pro as my graphics program. Print the text in it and then mirror it. Many graphics programs will have this function, some are better than others.

Very Nicely done Rick!
I hope you spelled her name correctly.
