    Default another wedding set

    I have a friend who is getting married next year. I offered our present to them a couple of wedding pens and she jumped at the offer. I was always going to do a white/black stone set but wasn't sure about the kits to use (had to be rollerballs). After a bit of research we settled on the Majestics and what you see is the finished product.

    A huge thanks goes out to Amos for the engraving on the pens, beautiful work and top bloke... sometimes I am amazed at how many really great people we have on these forums.

    Enjoy,
    Corbs

    Corbs they are beautifully made pens. The recipients should be well pleased.

    What a fantastic set, well done corbs

    Having had 2 wedding sets engraved by our resident master engraver I can personally vouch for his workmanship, as well as him being a top bloke

    That was checked many many times, more times than I measure before a cut anyway
