"NUKE EM TILL THEY GLOW" Ornaments - FREE SHIPPING
Customized laser engraved wood ornament from an Aircraft Maintainer at Pease AFB turned Missile Operator at Grand Forks
Select type of badge, then make custom with dates, unit and base as desired.
This design is courtesy of Jim, a Senior Missile Operator from the 70's. I freely admit that the Nuke Em Till They Glow saying was prevelent at Grand Forks in the late 80's and early 90's!
Ornament measures a minimum 2.5 to 3 inch diameter X 3/16 inch thick.
I individually hand turn each ornament on my lathe, featuring Bradford Pear I obtain from around Robins AFB here in GA. I like the Pearwood because it is really tight grained and takes laser engraving exceptionally well.
Customize! Select your badge (I know the are ALL SENIOR OPERATORS) then use the TEXT BOX to the right to tell me specifically what you want for customized info. You may have your rank and name, just name, no name, inclusive dates (YEARS) of your missile service, and unit, wing and base. If you have any questions after you order, I will certainly draw it up on Corel Draw and send you a concept image.
I am size constrained on this ornament so, I prefer you consider text similar to what is shown in the images. This ornament is not designed to customise on the top and bottom.
Each ornament is provided with an ID card that identifies the badge and wood type.
