    Thanks to Tony at Perfect pens who produced the gold filled lettering and graphics cheers Mate ! These are a special gift to a young couple about to start the next stage in lifes Journey , The Pens are Buffalo horn and the Motif is a representation of "Ganesh" the religious icon of the young couples Faith. They will be presented in one of Davids larger wooden boxes, not shown cheers ~ John

    Thanks John ! I did the turning of the pens to size, then Tony used his CNC to create the names and pictures, he then color filled with gold color, and I then filled with CA and finished as normal The Couple are Indian , so Ganesh and water buffalo seemed appropriate . ( my wife and I are invited to attend both the wedding and reception so this will be our Gift to the young couple ) cheers ~ John
    G'day all !Enjoy your stay !!!

    I saw these at the CNC phase at Tony's place, watching the machine is intriguing. They turned out really well John and I'm sure the couple will really love them

    John, you and Tony have both done a fantastic job on those beauties. I am sure they will be well received by the newly weds.

    Your efforts with the Buff horn were much more successful than my one and only attempt, all was good until I applied the CA, a big split appeared on one side of the blank, not sure what went wrong but I havent attempted another.
