When completing wood carving projects, it is important to mark the carvings appropriately so that you have some type of reference about the piece. Over time, you will forget when the carving was done, what type of wood was used, and sometimes, who completed the carving if it is given away or purchased by someone else. I have to admit that I haven’t always adhered to these marking suggestions, but I wish I had started using them before now.
6 interesting ways to mark your wood carving projects are:
1 Burn your initials and year into the project
2 List the number of carving that it is for the year
3 Stamp your brand
4 Mark the name of the wood that was used
5 Embed a carving symbol that is unique to you
6 Name of the project
7 ways to accomplish this are:
1 Gouges and V-tools
2 Ink
3 Pencil
4 Paint
5 Woodburning
6 Knife
7 Engraved Plate
