This guy looks pretty good and will ship to the UK.

I had an electric one made up in the autumn by Mick Shaw to mark my baskets (Signs, Engraving and Marking into steel, brass, silver, pewter and other materials. or email address [email protected]). Very pleased with it. One word of advice though, if you go for an electric one get one with a variable thermostat if possible. My one just gets hotter and hotter and because it uses quite small letters it's easy to overcook the wood and get a really blurred impression. (Might not be a problem if you plan to have a more chunky design though.) Takes a bit of practice and I've found that with all the various woods I use they all take the treatment differently.

 

cheers this is the same guy I was recommended,will take your comments to him,cheers:thumbup1:

Anyone use these as form of advertising? I.e stick a small brand on a stump before you leave? Thinking along the lines of those 'installed by' plaques you see on fence panels.
