HELP: Computer Engraving

[workinwood]

Below is an email I recieved from my father Inlaw concerning computer engraving on a gunstock.

Attached are two pictures. The one is a computer engraving on a gunstock just so you understand what I'm talking about.The Team Abrams logo is the one we want put on a gun. See if you can come up with some leads on people who do this stuff. From what I understand there is no industry standard pricing for this type of work which is good because the one price I did get was $400 for a 3" high image of the team logo and the words, TEAM ABRAMS, like in the picture. I do think I am going to need a better computer ready image than the one I have here for them to work with.

I attached two files one is of a gun stock that as been engraved and the other is what is need engraved on a gun stock

I appreciate anything you can come up with.

Nice pattern. Actually that price does not sound that bad. Did you try trophy shops. They use computer engravers. How about laser engravers. I see a guy at craft shows all the time with engrave pictures that were done with a laser engraver. Other than that I am sorry.

That would be nice to see a photo. Tell him he has to because he piqued some interest here. :)
