I mixed a few of my hobbies together on this project. I laser engraved on wood and then glued the wood rounds down to leather and cut them out. I think they turned out pretty great! What do y'all think?

They look good but I'm curious as to why you waste good leather on the bottom. I laser engrave the leather  to make coasters.

Thanks! I thought it was a cool look and took the place of cork on the bottom. I used small "scrap" pieces I had laying around so I didn't sacrifice much. 

I have some rounders I bought from SLC I plan to use as well. I need to invest in a round cutting die.

Thank you sir! I agree! I have used wrinkled flank pieces as accent pieces on bags before. I really like the look it gives and I hate wasting leather. I'm always looking for ways to use the less desirable pieces. This was a perfect opportunity to use it somewhere it didn't need to have structural integrity

Why do you need a round cutting die when you have a laser engraver? I cut all my leather with the laser.

I have not had very good luck cutting with my laser. It is only a 5.5W diode laser. It takes me about 10 passes to cut 3/4oz. I haven't tried to cut anything thicker.
