Dog/Pug Related Pen Blank?

[WarrenMorrison]

I've had a request for a Pug related pen, although she said that something with paw prints would suffice. After searching the vast universe of Google and the even better resource that is the IAP ( :biggrin: ), I have absolutely no leads. Has anyone ever encountered a pen blank in this ballpark?

Thanks for the help!

take some pug pictures and turn them into labels, cast and turn!

Interesting. That thought never occurred to me, probably because I've never tried to cast my own blanks before. I'm sure there are how-to forums on that here somewhere, though.

If casting isn't your thing yet, you could always make waterslide decals and apply to a bought acrylic or light wood blanks.

I got an inlay blank with paw prints from Wood n Whimsies. Looked good when finished. Phil

I have made and sold several pens made of dogwood with paw prints lasered all over them.

Or get a custom Patty Sole with an actual painting of the dog - you can probably order through Exotics.

Newbie here. Can you explain this suggestion a bit?

Awesome. Thanks for all of the suggestions! Now I have a few great options to consider. :biggrin:

Kallenshaan Woods has quite a few dog themed laser blanks.
