Inlaid Letters

[Rising Sun Leather Co]

Hey all,

I was wondering how do I cut the top piece of cowhide so that the exotic skin underneath looks like the letter it is. What i'm talking about is the shape of the letter. Most are easy, I'm stumped on the ones with holes in the middle. IE. A,b,d,e etc... If I cut out the outline it's not really a proper letter, but more like a blob. The only thing I can see is gluing the center on top of the exotic, but that doesn't seem proper or that it will last very long before falling off.

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks, Joey

Check out the fonts in Word or Excel. There is one were the holes in "b" and "o" have cnnection lines runiing from the inside diameter to the outside diameter.

Then stitch only the outside border and only glue the inside connecting pieces?

The letter will be one peice like this the "O" will have a smaller circle "o" inside of it connectting the two circles with two lines. I can't think of the font name.

I think this is the one that Bluesman was refering to.. The stencil font.
