Hopefully this picture might be a little better, thanks to Derek. I made this for my Daughter's wedding. I wanted to put waterslide transfers on the cap but it did not look too good, so
I will have to find some other way of engraving.

Hello Derek

Yes it's the same one. I had to take off the waterslide transfers as, for some reason it discoloured the wood. Maybe I was a little to quick putting it on. Mark has recommended a laser engraver (something I was looking into sometime ago, but the machines are just too expensive), so I will do that.

Cheers again, and I will keep practicing with the photos.

Shame about the pen as it looked good on the lathe but that is something that we all learn from as I said I have made plenty of mistakes and sure I will make a few more.:whistling::whistling::whistling:
