Leveche and Oilve - x 9

[Chriscb]

This is a follow on from a request I made here few months ago to have some engraving done. Gareth Ritter came through and did the engraving. Very impressed indeed.
The pens have a Bock #5 nib and the wood is Bethlehem Olive - as it says on the postmark on the box from Israel.
Due for delivery in the next week or so, so these are yet to be hand finished and made to gleam.
Thanks for looking - and thanks to Gareth for burning the pens!

Excellent Chris, glad it’s all come together. Great set of pens.

Great job, that looks to be some interesting Olive wood too. If you want the engraving to stand out more, I filled some before with Milliput and it worked very well.

Thanks for the comments. I did wonder about filling in the engraving but I decided against it as the cursive font is quite complex, with very thin (shallow) strokes as well as thick (deeper) strokes. I could barely feel the indentation on the curly parts of the text, so perhaps not a good candidate for an infill.

The ones I filled Chris, were almost through to the brass tube and in places you could see it.... Limited options, but it worked for me and the customer loved it... Honestly I designed it like that!
