PapaWolf Report post Posted July 3, 2008 Anyone ever used one of those wood burning pencils to carving on leather? I'm thinking about testing it out. I bought it to carve out some Norse runes but I was thinking about trying it on leather. Any experiences with that from anyone? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
CitizenKate Report post Posted July 3, 2008 Yeah, I've tried it. It works great on veg-tan, and you can get some pretty interesting effects from all the different-shaped bits that come with them. Sometime when I've got more time to play with it, I'll try to post something. (Don't hold your breath, though, I'm pretty tied up for the next few months.)

TomSwede Report post Posted July 3, 2008 Hi Papawolf! You should check out Storms pyrocarvings, He's great at it. Here's a link to one of his posts: http://leatherworker.net/forum/index.php?showtopic=3646 and here's a link to a tutorial he sen't me about making a tempcontrol, the burners seem to be at bit to high when working leather thus creating an unpleasant odour. Not sure he built this one yet but I'm sure he reply if you ask him. He's a great guy. http://www.thegourdreserve.com/tutorials/t...rol/burn1.shtml I think Hiloboy is doing alot of pyrocarving too and then there is Scouter that has shown off some good pyrocarvings in the past.
