Thank you. What was the thread called?

Hello again! Another question, about tooling. I think I've mentioned before, but I'm mainly interested in making leather horse tack. I've seen tons of examples of tooled tack where just the background is dyed/oiled dark and the tooling itself remains a lighter oiled color if that makes sense? How are people able to accomplish that? Thanks!

Gezzer and Fraulein thank you so much! That was exactly what I was wondering. I sure it's a lot harder than it looks getting letters to look. For beveling is it ook to just stick to the basic beginners kit tools? I'm just getting into tooling a bit and just have the basic checkered bevel.

Thanks. I have a set of stamps but I’m more interested in how the larger names are written with different types of fonts and styles if that makes sense? I don’t want to post a picture as it would be one off google and not my own work.

Hello! I'm into making tack for my horse and I've been seeing a lot of really pretty bronc nosebands with names in fancy fonts that look to be in perfect uniform. How are people able to carve such nice fonts? is it just done with a swivel knife and pattern piece? This is probably a dumb. question but I'm still learning when it comes to tooling leather.

Thanks everyone!

How should I go about fixing leather keepers that have broke on a bridle? One side of the keeper is still attached. Was thinking I'd glue it back with leather cement and maybe put a stitch or 2 in it but want to hear what more experienced people would do. Thanks!
