Hi Alun,
On pieces large enough to sign I use a fine tip permanent black marker
(Pigma Micron 05) prior to finishing. The Piece gets my name, month, year,
wood species and a number. On anything too small to sign I don't bother.
When my pieces go to the gallery I print out a tag that has my logo and
contact info along with info on the piece including cleaning instructions.

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?
