Simonix 8,660 Posted December 9, 2020 Thanks all for your kind comments. I had a go at making another plaque for the top. Had a bit of brass and a stamp set. do you guys think this would be a better replacement for the machine engraved one? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

simey83 2,009 Posted December 9, 2020 Subtle I meant well. The current ones colour suits the wood colour better, for me 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Simonix 8,660 Posted December 9, 2020 Obviously I haven’t put patina on there yet. it’s more in line with the original military boxes used. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Ibanez 2,713 Posted December 9, 2020 I love them both, what a work of art @Simonix .... the Maiale logo looks the bees but so does the stamp script... Why don't you just buy another and have two ! 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
