Custom Logo Wood Branding Iron - Personalized Leather & BBQ Heat Stamp with Handle for Woodworking (1.5x1.5) - Perfect for DIY Crafts, Leatherworking & Meat Branding

This product is great. The stamp is very precisely reproduced from the image I submitted. The handle is easily assembled to the stamp and is well built. It blows me away that a product like this can be made for such little money.I used the stamp on pine wood in the photos I submitted. This is the first time I used it to test it out. I heated the stamp using the exposed burner on my propane grill, because I didn't want to take the time to find my torch. It heated in a minute or less and I stamped this piece of wood at least 14 times with clear results before it got too cool to effectively mark the wood. I held it to the wood ranging from times of 1 to 3 seconds. I initially started longer and then reduced the time to see if it would still work. The burnt image varies in clarity in the photos as a result. I think the best results came after a few stamps and holding it to the wood for only about 1.5 seconds. I suspect that would vary based on wood species due to color and density differences.When I go to use this on my actual projects, I will have a piece of scrap wood of the same specie and surface finish. I will heat the stamp thoroughly and then stamp the scrap first to dial in the look, quickly moving to my actual work piece once I like where it's at. I know it will take practice, but in woodworking, nothing is perfect and this is just imperfect enough to be just what I need.With regard to size, I purchased this in the 1x1 size with a bit of apprehension, because I worried it might be too small. Comments were mixed on the issue. Some said that the 1x1 was way too small to get good results an that their images lacked clarity. Others said it was perfect. I really didn't want to order the bigger version. It wasn't the cost that was problematic, but the size would be a bit large for my projects. I included an image of my logo so you can see the level of detail that was retained in the stamp. As small as this is (US Nickel shown for size ref), I am amazed at how crisp it turned out. The image I submitted to the seller was a black and white version and if I recall correctly, I submitted it as a PDF so that the image quality would scale without losing clarity.With regard to shipping, I am sure a lot of variables exist and that everyone's situation could be different. I received mine exactly 3 weeks after I placed my order. I ordered December 5th and got it on the 26th. The estimates I received after I ordered said it could be February before I get it. I knew this was possible before ordering and I accepted that. To my surprise it was very fast respectively.All in all, I am extremely satisfied with the purchase and the sellers service. It was easy to purchase and submit art. The packaging was simple and effective (a poly bag with bubble wrap taped around the item. No damage. I will confidently buy again when I have the need.
