I don't understand why one would want to go to the trouble to figure out a way to sign one's pen and then want to hide the mark under the clip. Shouldn't we be proud of our work and art creations? Shouldn't our signatures be easily found? As I walk around my home I notice that most of the art I have is signed in places that are easily seen but not in places that would draw attention from the art. Just thinking out loud here.
Also, no one has suggested using a laser. lasers can engrave quite small and unobtrusive marks or signatures. I've seen some that were quite tastefully done. In fact, almost unnoticeable and they were in plain sight and not hidden. Again, just thinking out loud.
Now I'll shut up. But, I do wish I had kept a log of each pen I;ve made with the info about the pen such as kit, wood, finish, date, and who now has the pen. It is too late for me to start that now....or is it?
Do a good turn daily!
