Stamp Lettering After Dye?

Recommended Posts

A lady contacted me today and wanted to know if she brought her horse bridle to me, if I would stamp the horses name in the bridle.....No trouble to do it of course, just wondering if I can stamp lettering on something that has already been dyed?? She said it was a med brown oil finish. Any imput is greatly appreciated!!! Thanks!!

The oiled leather is not going to take the impression like Veg tan leather will. Also if you try to put letters in the old oiled leather there is a Great chance that you could cut thru the leather. The only way i would do it is to stamp the horse name on new leather then sew the piece of leather onto the bridle.

You might be able to brand the letters in with a wood burning tool or a soldering iron.

Ya once leather is dyed it don't take stamping/tooling.

you can replace the existing bridle strap with a new part with the desired stamping/tooling.

making new bridle strapping for an old bit is pretty common just use the old parts as templates and use the existing hardware.
