What is an example of branding?

You can brand many things for example. Animals or even wood, like if you made a wooden chair you can brand you annitials into it. Branding is heating up a disign in a metal rod, and then you press it and it burns into the wood or animal. Perminatly marking it.

Edit, i think i may have misread your catigorys so this may not be what you wanted.
