Alphabet Embossing stamps?

[esantoro]

I'm thinking about getting some alphabet embossing stamps to emboss initials on a leather patch to be stitched onto bags.

Can anyone recommend a good set of alphabet stamps, or is this something for which I'll have to custom order size and font style?

What size do you want? I like this 3/4" set from Tandy: http://www.tandyleatherfactory.com/home/de...ature=Product_4

3/4" is a good size. I was thinking regular block letters. Ideally, I'd like to be able to set the stamps in a plate and apply pressure with a 2-ton arbor press. I'm not sure if such a plate is available.

Another option is to hand carve the letters using stencils. What tools would be required?
