Title: Did a little engraving
Post by: tom_hudson on April 15, 2012, 06:50:15 PM

I had an area on the console harley i wanted to dress up a little - Turned out nice - Engraving isn't for everyone but it can add a nice touch sometimes - simple as 1,2,3 - tom

I'm retired Justin - i still do knives & some motorcycle/car stuff for old customers - Turned in my FFL s I no longer engrave guns - If you need a gun engraver - look up Ron French on Google - He's an old friend & a fine engraver - He's in the Ft Worth area - 100% coverage on a handgun runs about $4,000 - If you want any gold inlay work it's normally by the inch or squire inch & going rate on the gold - 24K must be used - here's a Colt 1911 I did last year - tom

I finished up this morning - I ended up doing 8 or 9 pieces - Not over done sets the bike apart from the other 10 million Ultra's out there - mines one of a kind! This area is on the trunk lid - enjoy - tom
