I like your system. At first it looks elaborate.
I would benefit by knowing at what MP you are taking the picture and what
type of storage to you use. I am having a problem with unwanted shadow. I
wander how it can be solved without using too much light. As for the
pyrography pen I have one but it does not work fast. You may have a special
one. TIA

Hi Alun

I mark all but the smallest of my turnings with a pyrography pen, my
name, wood used, year finish turned, and number that correspond with a
photograph, if the price sticker disappears in the store or gallery a
new one will be no problem as al the pertinent info goes with the
photograph, and it gives me a memory and recall.
The ones that are to small for all of that do get a number and a tag on
a string, ribbon, etc.

Have fun and take care

I was just wondering what method those of you that sell your work use to
mark your work with your name etc.? I've tried sticky labels but they
fall off, labels that tie on are OK for small items but not for bowls,
and the "branding iron" type markings I've seen on other turners' works
are usually illegible.

I'm probably going with the idea of a separate card with contact details
and also some limited "care and feeding" instructions, but I'd still
like something a bit more permanent on the piece itself that won't
easily get lost.

Any ideas?
