I ordered this Branding Iron Amazon.com: Wall Lenk CM125W Woodworker's Branding Iron: Home Improvement. I ordered in on April 19th and it arrived April 20th. I mailed the head ordered form on April 21st and the Head arrived yesterday. It seams to work really well but it going to take a bit of practice to get right each time since it take different time for different woods.

A friend of mine has a branding iron. He quickly learned the difficulty of getting the brand right in the first applicion, and how nearly impossible it is to line the head up properly for a second imprint. He made a jig that allowed him to apply the iron again exactly over the original imprint. I hope to have my own branding iron one of these days. Thanks for sharing.Manufacturer Of Heirloom Quality Sawdust

Dan, I was wondering if the heat is consistant or does it change with air currents or just heat to a certain temp & stay there. I tried a square block type of print on a piece of scrap wood, with my woodburning tool & it was way too hot. I only have a cheaper type of burning & not one with controlled heating elements. It was very tricky too, like you say, getting it lined up correct for the burn. That is a nice iron. Hope it works out for your use. I hand burn my ID on my scroll pieces. Looks good & thanks for the info.PERK

One of my many fill in projects is a fairly easy method to produce my own brands.
They won't be electric. Just heat with a small torch. More complicated then I thought it would be and complicated enough so I won't quit 'til I get it.May the wind at you back .....

by tgiro01Some folks expressed a desire to see this thing once it was completed. This is the bowl I experimented on, with the little Kobalt miter saw.
The downside is that, I used Hickory for most of the bowl. Hickory is a hard brittle wood but, it also has an open grain, which promptly absorbed...-

Reply to The St-Nicolas sheriffHat, ears, and the mustache are some areas you might look at. A mustache that big would surely be bushy. Ears could maybe come forward some.
Nice work. Thanks for sharing with us.-

He is 9” X 6” X 1/2”, and the woods used are cherry, elm, ebony, and sapelli on the 25 parts.
Finish with oil tried & true
I like it very much and still...-
