Applying your mark

Recommended Posts

I was wondering ya'lls opinion on the maker mark deal.

Do you apply your mark to every item you make?

For example, I have had some request for simple bracelets. Just quick simple carvings and such, but I have not been putting any identifying marks on them as they are small and the space is limited.

How do you do it?

I don't apply it all the time. Sometimes I just forget, sometimes there's no place to put it. Sometimes I want to put it on the flesh side, and my maker's mark just doesn't give a good impression on that side, so I do one of two things: either I draw my initial with a fine-point Sharpie in an unobtrusive place, or I use the Tiwaz rune from my rune set.

If it's not fitting to put my mark on it I will put my mark on a key fob or something like that and just tie it on.

I use my Dad's old livestock brand which is now recorded to me in the state of Idaho. It is a G and a sideways or Lazy Y connected I have several different sizes of letter stamps and can nearly always find room for it somewhere. i feel like I finish projects better if I know that mark is going on. If I have room I usually use 3/16 inch stamps for the brand and at least 09 or 2009 or whatever year. On Larger projects I like to use Tandys 3-D stamp " Handcrafted By"with the mallet, swivel knife and head knife and then put the G-lazy-Y on that.
