My brother has been in the Air Force for some
time and over the last few months he asked me if I was interested in making him a "subdued" flag pen. Honestly, I had no clue what a "Subdued" flag was until he showed me a patch on his uniform.
I gave it some thought and decided to try making a label pen. I figured the Bolt Action would be appropriate as well.
So, after figuring the measurements and a couple failed attempts of placing a label I poured them in Alumilite Clear slow. (Them cuz I poured two.)
the label seam isn't completely hidden, but this IS my first go at it.
I sent him photos of the pen and he got all weepy on me. He's my brother, so I told him to knock it off. It was, infact, an honor and a blessing that I have come to this point to make something that had so much meaning to someone whom is so close to me.

Very beautiful and touching for all us vets and active duty.
