Nice brand. Maybe a little spacer to push it against?? I;m not 100 % sure. We never had that problem branding cattle. Always seemed to line up just fine:-))

i would say as long as u can read it if its a bit off it just ngives the “handfinished” charactor …but thats just me

-- if you dont have it, build it, especially when its a stupid idea

I am with bob67cam, being a little “imperfect” makes it seem less of a mass manufactured item. It looks awesome to me. Great idea on logo that the buyer will most likely remember the story and your name to pass it on to others.

That’s a very nice brand, and they’ve got great prices. Thanks for passing the info along. I’ve wanted a brand for a long time, and this makes it doable. Good luck with your branding issue.

Looks great!
Frankly, if you wanted crisp and squarely placed you needed to use a die and mallet then ink the grooves. If your stamp comes off precise and crisp you risk looking like a mass produced product. You have something unique, well made, with a craftsman logo all that says quality, a very rare thing.

If you hit that brand with a bit of sandpaper I’ll bet you’ll remove most of the overburn.

Might take a dremel with a tiny bit and clean up the W overlap. That is the only place I see as being blurred. Trick I find to work with my branding irons is to Get them really hot and touch them quick to the wood. Holding on the wood allows the iron to keep burning and spreading out. I like to use a rocking motion to insure it gets it all and none of it sits too long. I touch the right edge down and rock to the left edge and lift. The softer you wood, the worse the brand will look because of heat spread.

Rob, thanks for link! They do have better prices than rockler, which is where i would have gotten one from untill u turned me on to this site THANKS AGAIN!

I received a custom branding iron for Christmas and am having the same (even branding) you are experiencing. I think it just takes practice and more practice to get it right. But I like the “custom look” suggestions others have already posted.
