I've turned some freedom pens and love the program. For people in the service that I know personally, I came up with another idea. I turn a platter. I then print the logo for their branch of the service on Avery full page clear label stock, with the image sized to fit the flat part of the platter. Cut out the image and apply it to the platter. I've tried a few finishes over the images. Sprayed finishes seem to work the best, although General Finishes, Salad Bowl Finish, wiped on didn't smear the ink and worked well. Currently I'm using semigloss Deft Spray Laquer. The label lets the wood grain show through. The areas that are usually white are clear and the colored parts let some wood grain show through also. I suppose if you were printing these logos for sale you might run into copywrite problems. The first one I did was for my son. He is a US Marine. I've also done them for Army, Navy and Airforce members. I've only been turning for a year now. What I don't have in skill I have to make up in ingenuity. I hope you like my Idea.
