Pretty clean work for your first time.  When did you put your makers mark on?

Thats the right time to do it.  What did you wet mold around?  Usually I use that form to make the mark.

i made a mold out of 1 x 2 pine. I placed my piece on that and slipped a small piece of aluminum (smaller than my mark which was part of the problem) on top and struck my mark on that.

wanted to be able to re-use the mold so was hesitant about striking the mold very hard because I thought I might break it.

I think Pine would hold up just fine.  I use MDF and its fine.  Ive even stamped over one of my pocket knives, and it was ok too.  Light taps until its set.
