I have been using magic markers and they sometimes (usually) come off
when applying the finish. I would like to know what other choices I
have except wood burning.

Thanks

I use a pencil. Shellac will take it off though.

I have been using a small vibrating tool and follow up with a good
permanent ink. I stain over it and apply several coats of wipe on
oil/poly. I have done this on both red oak and hard maple. Practice
on a piece of scrap is always a good idea.

Some people use leather or brass insets. I don't know about the best
vendor, but here's a site that sells a 1 1/2" brass medallion for $2.90
+ $170 setup charge (minimum 250 pieces)

I use India ink and pen. Doesn't wash off.

Cindy Drozda does a combination. She signs her pieces with a vibrating
engraver - then rubs a gold crayon like wax over the engraving, forcing
the "gold" down into the engraving. She then wipes the excess off the
surface. Makes his signature "pop" - and it's kind of classy.

Engraving?
Branding iron?
Spring loaded letter punch?

I'm lucky enough to have a wife that does pyrography, (what they call wood
burning after you buy expensive stuff to do it with), and she signs, dates and
sometimes personalizes gift items for me..

I've tried lots of other ways and they all either wear off, smear with finish or
just don't show up/last..

I use an ultra fine black Sharpie marker, signing after the finishing
process is complete. The Cindy D method mentioned by charlieb is
probably classier though

Do you have a picture or plan for them? I'm tired of hauling tables.

I use a Micron Archival ink pen. It is supposed to be fade proof and
it marks on surfaces that have been waxed & buffed.
