Do you have a Makers Mark?

[Johanna]

That's one of the problems after you have judged a few shows. You can pretty much tell who did what, even though the names or marks are to be covered and the judges aren't supposed to know who entered what...but you can't help it. You recognize a style, and know so-and-so must have done that one...

I use both depending on the case.

i have thought about having a nice stamp made but, just can't come up with a design i like.

i have done over sixty seats now and use a veiner to produce my mark. it's simple and i off set it slightly on the nose of the seat. anyone that has seen my work knows it's mine. it does get noticed as i do get questions as to what that mark is

Where you you get the stamps made? I am in Australia & work with roo hide. I'd love to get a stamp to make it look more professional & also to let people know who made it but I dont know where to start looking.

This is a picture of a ring that I had custom made for myself a few years back.

When it came time to sign my first piece, I was clueless and just about to give up.

I just happened to look down at my hand at just the right moment and inspiration struck me.

Now I use that design. Most times I cut it with the swivel knife, but once in a while I'll use a little branding iron and burn it in. It depends on the piece and how I think I can fit it in without being obtrusive.

I thought of getting a real makers stamp, but I like having more control over the size of each signature.

Maybe someday, if I get real good at this, I'll invest in a makers stamp, but for now this is suitable.
