Custom Branding Iron

[RyeLou]

The past couple of years my dad has gotten very into custom woodworking. He makes tables, all different kinds of chairs, benches, coolers, etc. He's given most away to family and friends but he's started selling some of them. I had the idea for Christmas to get him a custom branding iron. Does anyone know someone local who could help make something like that?

Just to say it...the idea would be to have some type of basic design and wording on a metal plate he could heat up and 'brand' his creation. Something like this: https://img0.etsystatic.com/060/0/6715645/il_570xN.755940654_iktg.jpg

I looked into having one made before (But never did it). I bookmarked this website. http://www.brandingirons.com/product-category/custom/custom-branding-heads-for-branding-irons/

Cool idea Ryan. Good luck with finding a solution!

Brown Dog Welding?? This could be a new market for him. Metal combines with wood!

From what I see on Etsy and other places I'm looking at about $75 - $100 but will be somewhat limited in what can be done in the small space as far as art goes. Letters, numbers and words in general aren't a major issue.

Thanks for the link above.
