Branding Iron. Interested?


Recommended Posts

When I was in college, I turned several bowls out of teak cut offs from a furniture factory.  Each was basically the same and was finished with particular felt pads on the bottom that I made myself.  I sold them to help pay for tuition.  imagine how I felt when I discovered two of my bowls, a few years later, being sold in a craft store with another person's name tagged as maker. After that when I made something, I took two letter stamps from a metal stamp set, clamped them together and heated them with a torch and burned my initials into the work.  I sold some leather work for a while and did the same then.  Branded with my initials. 

 

Even when making anything as a gift, I  add my "mark"   It identifies the item.  If I were to do anything commercially again, it will be  marked with a brand that is comprised of my initials.

These small branding irons look interesting, I own a full size one that has my name on it. The problem with it, is that it's to large for most items I make. I will be giving purchasing one of the small ones, some serious consideration. Any item I make would look a lot neater branded, then it would if I just signed my name.
