Signing work before or after buffing?

[Ken Milhinch]

I am new to this turning business, so pardon what may be a silly question. Why would you want to sign something you made ? Is this something you plan to sell ? I don't get it.

It's so your friends and relatives will know not to throw it away!

Glenn Hodges recommended to me to use an archival pen right on the freshly sanded wood before any finish is applied. I have been using his method for awhile and have had nothing but good results.

Hey....one technique that I learned while it Philly about signing your work? Just break out your best can of KRYLON Paint and Let'R-Rip.

Even if you're going to buff afterwards?
