Good books on making designs for leather carving?

Recommended Posts

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.

Check on Joe Melings website, he does a course on designing & drawing carving patterns. I think Don Gonzales does as well.

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/.
