I make a few wood duck and bluebird houses every year (out of cedar or cottonwood) and I like to mark them with the date on the bottom, just to see how long they'll last. I've been using a soldering gun and kind of etching into the bottom the date like '98' or '07' but I've found that as the wood weathers and ages and darkens, its really hard to read that date.
Chamois passed away this weekend a couple days short of her 13th bday.
What a great dog to hang out with here at home and on distant adventures.
Gonna miss ya big time my little big girl.

I make a few wood duck and bluebird houses every year (out of cedar or cottonwood) and I like to mark them with the date on the bottom, just to see how long they'll last. I've been using a soldering gun and kind of etching into the bottom the date like '98' or '07' but I've found that as the wood weathers and ages and darkens, its really hard to read that date.
Any better tools for marking wood with a date???
Thanks.
