To make a long story short, I'm going to be stamping works onto 8 different pieces of wood. The woods will range from softwood to hardwood. I'd like the font to remain consistent throughout the different pieces. I read on LV that different sizes work better for different density woods.
(1) Is this going to be a problem? I don't want to buy 3 different sets of stamps.
My next problem comes from needing to do Greek letters. I'm not to worried about accents, the one's that are important I might be able to just do by hand.
(2) Where can I find Greek Alphabet stamps?!
(3) If this is to hard to do, what are some alternatives to stamping that would look good?
I'm making a relatively small 3 sided pyramid with 8 layers. Each layer being a different type of wood. (as side a goal, I'd like to move from one shade at the bottom, to another shade at the top... so dark to light wood, or vise versa).
So, I'll have English on one side, Greek on another, and maybe some symbols on the the other side. I'd really prefer that the wood be stamped, or something similar, but I realize this is going to be a BIG project.
(3 again) What are some other ways that this goal might be achieved while still looking great? Little metal plaques?
I appreciate any advise as I've never done anything like this before.
Thanks!
Luke
