    If you make souvenirs then adding the species is a nice touch.

    If you make art/craft then don't make it look like a souvenir by writing the species on it. Ever seen a Monet painting with "Oil Paint" added just below his signature?

    I do provide a customised ticket that carries relevant information with each individual piece. An extra effort but worth the effort I think.

    Ticket - Front View.doc

    Ticket - Rear View.doc

    About the same distance from most of you heading East or West.

    It's easy to see the Dunning-Kruger Effect in others, but a bit of a conundrum when it comes to yourself...

    My father would never sign the pieces we made so I got a branding iron with his name on it. Now that he is no longer with me, it really is a bittersweet moment when someone pulls one of the pieces we made and shows his brand on the back.

    I sign mine with glue drips, sanding scratches, and dust in the finish. When I get better I'll figure out a way to put my name on it.
    Wood is very beautiful in tree form. Wood is very useful in burning form. I merely try to make my work honor the first, avoid the latter, and aim for the middle: beautiful and useful.
