Embossed pen case

Recommended Posts

My wife is a pen enthusiast and she asked if I'd make a leather pen case. I designed this one that is has just a single line of hand stitching up the middle. Hope you like it. 524pencaseblackembossed.jpg

I've not seen that design before, pretty damn clever bottom closure.

Tom, this is a really cool looking case. I also like the bottom closure idea. It says "embossed" how did you emboss the design on the lid?

Very nice and clever Tom! I saw some stuff like this in Scotland for the luxury items at the destilleries.

The bottom closure is what I usually call a "viking style seal/closure" since it's a method they used to close strap loops and such.

It looks good and is really a good way to close things.

Ken, the embossing is just a variation of wet forming. You just need a form to press the cased leather down into. I used to carve the negative into a block of parrafin with wood carving tools. With a scroll saw you can cut a sheet of plastic or plywood. You cut out the raised parts--no need to round anything off. Then with a small ball tool you press the cased leather down into the recesses. It gives a rich look with very little work.

That closure is cool cause while wet it is easy to insert the tab into the slot, but once dry it ain't going anywhere!

Tom,

Simple but elegant. I'd love to see your cutting pattern if you could post it.
