Thanks Derek
It happens. Hours of careful work in the wood pile. Lol. Smile and keep
going.

I'm expecting a branding iron from Lee Valley shortly. The type that you
heat with a propane torch. Advice! Do you burn your mark before or after
the finish?

Before. Burning through a finish will make a mess and create lots of
unpleasant fumes. Even burning plain wood creates some residue around the
edges which I lightly sand (400/800) to remove it.

Sorry to hear about the lazy susan.
