Unique and distinctive marking on wood, leather and more. Tools for creative branding are designed and made to meet the demand from leather crafters, carpenters, furniture makers & musical instrument makers, for a traditional method of marking their products.

For example, a carpenter might use a branding iron to stamp the date of completion on a piece of furniture.
