I would like to "sign" my pens and other small turned products. Since the items are small, may I ask what some of you do to identify a small turned object as "Your Work".
I've thought about small, unique shaped inlays ... Branding or burning with a small metal iron ...
Other thoughts .....
Thanks in advance.
I have a small maker's mark that I use on all of my items except pens. Well, stick pens I use it on, but not any type of mechanical pens. There' s just no subtle way to do it, really. I suppose you could engrave it under the clip, but it would still be visible. I use either a woodburner or an ultra-fine point Sharpie. Usually the woodburner, though.
Pens are so small and there is no "bottom" that you can sign that will not be highly visible. Instead I include a small card that includes my name, pen number and type, plating type, and wood type. This card also shows my company name and web site.
I have seen some custom made branding irons advertised in craft catalogs. Typically a signiture or mark.
Winfield and Cherry tree if I remember correctly.
You could get a rubber stamp made and use a wood dye or ink instead.
