Several years ago (?) there was a guy, from a Texas woodturning club I
think, who was offering wooden name tags for sale to other
woodturners.
(I also don't remember if he advertised on this forum or elsewhere.)
Would anyone here happen to remember his name, or even better, where I
can contact him?
Thanks for any help.

tags and someone may be able to help you.

Pretty much anybody with a CNC router (or laser, depending on what you
have in mind) could do this (again, depending on what you have in mind.)

Describe what you want, I'll figure out if I can do it on my vintage
ShopBot (1997, which, for that tool, is old and outdated). Probably
someone closer to you can do it, too.

Since I'm in Vermont and not in a club, I would not be the guy you were
thinking of.

I our club, we wanted turned name tags. So what we did was to buy the
two-color plastic badges as rounds. Then, the owner could turn a back
piece for the plastic badge. Some of the most creative include:

- natural edge tag
- square edge with curled corners
- thorns around the rim
- a small bottle shape
- multi-centers ala Dick Sing

I got several badges so I could have several different tags.

Any pictures? I'm having trouble visualizing what a turned name tag would
look like.

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
Our club used to fine the members who did not wear a turned name tag. I'll
describe mine: Oak, about 2" in diameter, turned to look like the head of a
whiskey barrel, with a tiny wooden valve near the bottom edge. Woodburned
lettering said, "Leo--Aged in the wood." (I'm a senior citizen.)

I made a bunch of oval-shaped badges by slicing a round piece diagonally. I
offered them for rent to members for 1 cent less than the fine for not
having one. I got no takers.

How many did what I would have done and told them to stick it?

None that I know of, but quite a few just quietly ignored it, INCLUDING THE
CHAIRMAN.

Talk about "snail mail." I posted this item to the thread a year(?) ago,
when it was still active.
