I have an aircraft piston that I want to engrave my brother's squadron and team badges on either side of for a cigar ash tray for him. Do you have any idea where to have artwork engraved on a cylinder shaped chunk of aluminum?

It's about 5 1/2" diameter by 4" tall.

 

Just a thought, how about a Trophy Shop.

 

grease is that piston from a radial? doesnt look like a lycoming or continental.....when its done put some felt on the table side so no scratches

 

some tattoo artists can engrave to but it all depends...the guy that does my tats also engraves so you never know

 

columbus, court house or chillicothe???

 

Malta down south of Zanesville...

 

yeah it's from a Pratt 1340. a very small handful of our cropdusters still fly with 985's and 1340's. the wrist pin holes are perfect size for setting your cigar in to step away for a minute, too.

I didn't think of a trophy shop, I think there are a few in my area. I've found a lot of engraving places that do plaques and other flat surfaces but it takes more expensive equipment to lay a CNC engraving on a cylindrical shape.

 

There are companies that can engrave with a laser. Ive seen metal/stone/granite done.

 

I would find someone who can cut a stencil and sandblast it.....the same type of work that people have done to windows. a good sign shop would be able to handle it.

 

^Agreed, go to a sign shop. And then post pics when it's done
