DaleksInc Report post Posted December 21, 2024 Basically what it says on the tin. I like doing leather carving, and I would like to use my own designs. However, whenever I try to (for example) a Sheridan pattern, it never seems to turn out right. Therefore, I'd like to get a good book on how to draw the designs used in various leather carving styles. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
DieselTech Report post Posted December 21, 2024 Check on Joe Melings website, he does a course on designing & drawing carving patterns. I think Don Gonzales does as well. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

TomE Report post Posted December 22, 2024 The Leather Crafters and Saddlers Journal online store has a number of books on Sheridan style carving. I liked reading this one https://leathercraftersjournal.com/product/sheridan-style-floral-drawing-gabor-pinter/. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
