Clay, Nice carving... I am a newbie and have a few questions. First how do you do the initial pattern transfer? do you case the leather before you transfer the pattern with the stylus? Second how do you get the burnished look with the pear shader and beveler? I think I am working with my leather when it's too wet. Third I don't get much definition with my tools regardless of how hard I strike them. I am using a marble slab setting on my brick fireplace for a work surface so I know it is stable enough for carving. Are my problems with this also because I am working with the leather too wet? Thanks, Kevin
