Makers mark
I always wanted a custom made markers mark, and I have finally found one that is affordable. Here is one I bought from this guy
https://www.etsy.com/shop/MakersMarkBranding
It arrived today. I tested it on a piece of Mahogany, Silky Oak and Jarrah. I am very happy with it. I cannot wait to use it on my next commission. The price is USD $85. Graphic design and postage are included. All you have to do is send him a clear image of your design in jpeg format.
The mark is my surname in Chinese.

Hi Wongo,
Looks great! How have you coloured it?
I presume it's a 'branding iron' type?

Looks great .... I would love to go down this path but I don't know what the Chinese symbol for Smith will actually look like

Yes it is a branding iron. I heat it up with a portable gas stove.

I love it.
I've always liked japanese and chinese symbols. I think its partly because the meanings not immediately obvious to me.
You might like to experiment with different colours as well…..eg. push the brand in deep. and push a putty in. After it cures you can sand back and you can end up with a nice affect. uno. fine black outline around a colour.
but then 'putty's a dirty word. Some may screw their noses up at that even though your only using it in the brand.

I reakon you could get away with putting anywhere you like, assuming that you have chinese heritage. (is that true anyway. I've never met you ?)
I can't use them. I did try once and people rolled their eyes at it.
I love the look of branding and bought a genuine brand from I think it was Japan. Ebay. here….
http://www.ebay.com.au/sch/m.html?_o...brand&_sacat=0
It means …. ' eternity'.
I was doing a few serving boards up and I thought they might look good on the handle. Wasn't received well. I guess because I'm…..caaaaaaucation…..as if it really means something.
not that its my preference, but I reakon you'd be safer just putting it where all woodworkers do. Under the table top in a corner. People who are in a position to influence your career generally tend to be a pretty conservative bunch. imo. Assuming your career minded. I'm not.
