Tutorial On Making A Wooden Wax Seal

[Italicist]

Here's a link to a tutorial at Ragehaus.com that gives directions on how to make one's own wax seal out of wood: http://ragehaus.com/?p=1215. I'm not sure why I didn't think of this years ago; whenever an idea prompts this reaction, it's a sure sign that the idea is probably genius, or at least worth trying. Even if working a reverse impression in wood wouldn't allow the same sort of precision and detail that brass or other metals permit, wood is at least treats the pocketbook gently. I think that I'm going to mount a search through my pile of scraps in the hope of uncovering a suitable length of 1" dowel.

 

All the best,

This is really cool! I saw one a few months back of a seal made from art putty and a bottle cap. And here I was dreaming of forking over a few hundred dollars to get a custom seal...
