"Signing" your pens ... and other small items
 

I would like to "sign" my pens and other small turned products. Since
the items are small, may I ask what some of you do to identify a small
turned object as "Your Work".

I've thought about small, unique shaped inlays ... Branding or burning
with a small metal iron ...

Other thoughts .....

Thanks in advance.

I have a small maker's mark that I use on all of my items except pens.
Well, stick pens I use it on, but not any type of mechanical pens.
There' s just no subtle way to do it, really. I suppose you could
engrave it under the clip, but it would still be visible. I use
either a woodburner or an ultra-fine point Sharpie. Usually the
woodburner, though.

"Signing" your pens ... and other small items
 

Pens are so small and there is no "bottom" that you can sign that will
not be highly visible. Instead I include a small card that includes my
name, pen number and type, plating type, and wood type. This card also
shows my company name and web site.

I have seen some custom made branding irons advertised in craft
catalogs. Typically a signiture or mark.

Winfield and Cherry tree if I remember correctly.

You could get a rubber stamp made and use a wood dye or ink instead.
