Best Wood Burning Letter Stamps: Alphabet and Number Tip Sets

Picked from Amazon listings, not hands-on tests. How we pick

Letter stamps are brass tips with a raised character on the end: screw one into a solid-point wood burning pen, let it heat, and press it like a branding iron to burn names and dates without freehand lettering. Sets differ in four ways that the listings state. Characters: uppercase only, or lowercase, numbers 0 to 9 and symbols as well. Size: some give a letter height such as 1/2 or 5/8 inch, others only the tip diameter. Fit: threads on solid pens are not universal, so the only guide is what a listing names, such as an M4 thread or a pen brand. And whether a pen is included or the set is tips only. This guide compares wood burning alphabet stamps and number sets on those points and repeats fit only where the listing states it. Nothing was burned by us. For even impressions, let the stamp heat fully, press straight down and rock it slightly, keep the dwell time the same for every letter, and practice on scrap of the same wood. Let the pen cool before changing stamps, and use pliers.
