These are really simple and quick to make and are a nice alternative to shop bought tags, they can also be used for labeling homemade wine, jam and other produce.
You can use most woods for these as long as the wood is seasoned, otherwise the tags may split as they dry.

Some suitable branchwood around 40 - 50mm (1.5" - 2") thick, Sycamore, Ash, Maple are all good but try to
avoid branches with a central pith or soft center as it could prove difficult to write on.
A saw - the finer the teeth the better = less sanding.
A drill.
A 4-5mm drill bit (dependent on the thickness of the twine/string).
Sandpaper.
Some suitable string/twine, I use Jute for a rustic, earthy look.
Appropriate safety requirements.

A bandsaw would work really well for this.
The picture showed the pull saw, that's what I thought you used. Would have given a nice cut.
Now why didn't I think of that? DUH!
thank you for sharing, good Ible.
