Signing Work

[Dale Stagg]

Newbie to this site. How are most of you guys or gals signing your work. Using a felt tip? Burning? Laser? Just wondering.

[Nancy Laird]

Dale, Sharpies are your friends. That's the usual method, except for those "pros" who have gotten branding irons.

I use a silver Metallic pen to sign my stuff. Personally I think it looks better than a sharpie. I am not sure what brand but you can get them at most office supply stores. I have not used it long enough to comment on how it holds up though, but so far no problems.
If I ever get good enough I with my pyrography pen I would like to burn the signature in.

Razortip burner with a .08" ball writing tip.

I used a sharpie for a long time but had problems with it staying permanent. Excess handling and/or refinishing a piece tends to take it right off.

Sharpie marker will fade away over time, and disappear or become to faint to read. I use a fine tipped Dremel Engraver to sign work. Permanent, and is vibration adjustable, which enables consistant results on varying hardness charactaristics.

I scanned my signature and use a laser to sign my work.

Thanks, I tried a Sharpie before spraying Laquer and dissapeared and the ink melted into wood. Not good results. Could only dream of a laser. Will try the fold pen, sound reasonable.
