I’m having a hard time figuring out how to affix these things to my outgoing e-mails, but this tutorial from Derek & Kim at Ragehaus on how to make a monogram signet from a wooden dowel is pretty cool, anyway. It’s well-written, has great photography, and the process it describes is inexpensive, simple, and produces good-looking results. [Thanks, Billy Baque!]
