I suspect many of you are already aware of this or even using one, so this is directed at those who don't.
As many of you know by now, I have a small custom plaque business that keeps me busy. When I first started the business, I looked for a way to "sign" my work, if you will, in an effort to capture follow-up orders. As such, I came real close to ordering a "rubber stamp" kit, to place my name on the rear of each plaque. However, I really wanted something more "rustic" in appearance and I found just what I was looking for at Rockler.
A branding iron for wood.
I brand each plaque (see image below) and follow-up orders have already manifested themselves! I love my branding iron!
