    Default Jnr. Emperor Malachite Pair

    Decided to make these a pair, I like green and gold, reminds me of the colours of my country. Hope you enjoy them, comments welcome. PS these are Laser Engraved with "WI" on the top cap and coloured in gold. The letters are under the clip so not really visible unless you purposely look for it. Amos

    That is one dam fine looking pair of pens.

    The Malachite is a wonderful.

    Is it difficult to turn? and did you have to do a lot of sanding?

    Those are wonderful looking, Amos! The brilliant green goes perfectly with the gold Emperor Junior kit. What kind of finish does one put on these Trustone pens?

    You know - one of the first things to pop into my head when I looked at them was how nice they would look in a custom box with a white satin lining.
    When all is said and done, there is usually a whole lot more said than done.

    Wow! They are very elegant Amos good to see the parcel from Randy arrived so quickly.

    Great match of kit to blank and as Al said in a white satin box brilliant.

    Nice looking pens Amos. If you don't mind me asking, how much was the laser engraver. I used to work on a Gravograph IS6000 and would come out with some great stuff. It wasn't a laser one. Did a lot of beer/spirit icons up i.e. Bundy Bear and even a 1m x 1m dragon on a mirror. Looked great.

    It was not difficult to turn, in fact it turned like an Acrylic but a bit harder. Sam, these pieces were from stock, still waiting on my parcel. Now, my wife must have white satin somewhere!!
    Regulated, my laser is an el cheapo desktop, but the same laser today with the exchange rate would be $4500.
    Thanks all for the comments thus far. Amos
