I bought an Omtech 60W laser, due to arrive any day now, to sell engraved leather wallets.
I am talking to a supplier who will provided me the finished product (veg-tan, dyed and waxed) leather wallets which I will then engrave for customers. So far I have learnt that veg-tan is a must but are there other things I should be wary of? Is it better to ask my supplier to send the wallet without dye and I dye it myself after engraving?
I also read a lot about soaking leather first before engraving but is that something that I need for the finished, dyed wallets as well?
Appreciate any and all guidance. TIA.
