I wanted to make a wax seal for our wedding invitations using the logo that my fiancee and I designed. I machined the stamp out of brass and attached a black plastic handle. The engraving was carved fairly deep (.040") in order to emboss our logo successfully.
We used sealing wax rods that fit into a glue gun to get repeatable volume/flow of wax onto the envelopes (instead of the traditional spoon/candle method). It ended up working out really nicely and added a handmade personal touch to our invitations.
