At the IFW show in August, I ordered somnething I have been thinking of buying for my shop, for the past 15 or more years.
A branding iron!
Everyone I make things for asks "did you put your name on it somewhere" to which I always reply, sorry, no. I am encouraged to mark my work continuously, but never gave it much thought.
The company I ordered it from is Wall Lenk. They had some really great logos on display, and when I showed my business card & logo, they assured me they could do it no problem.
I just got it yesterday, and tried it out in a number of species. Works great!
I bought the 400 Watt model that mounts in the drill press to make branding simple. I plane to brand my drawer boxes, underneath chairs, etc.
Here is a sample on basswood (what I make my drawers from).
