Fool's Errand
Trying out a stamp on a piece of scrap wood that I've used to test stains in the past. Seeing if a stamp will apply the logo well enough. Both of these were over-inked and neither of them had enough ink/paint to make a logo on wood that wasn't transparent. The method of leaving an image for a stamp is to apply pressure directly on the ink/paint and in the case of wood it just squishes the paint out of the way and leaves it thin. Too thin.
Failure is good, though. I never move forward without multiple failures along the way. Just another lesson learned. And this will make a groovy stamp for correspondence and packages.
I had originally planned to use a custom branding iron, but the price on top of all the guitars I've ordered is just more than I can front right now. We'll see.
