Members longwalkback Posted January 23, 2014 Members Report Posted January 23, 2014 i would like to try the pattern i have seen on some projects that incorporates simply cutting straight lines with the swivel knife and using a seeder of some sort to break up the line, in kind of a grid pattern. I cannot find a close up of this anywhere and have some questions. Do the cut lines go right up to the seeder or stop farther away? I assume the straight line is beveled in some way to make it more pronounced and was wondering what is used for that. any help appreciated. Quote

Moderator bruce johnson Posted January 23, 2014 Moderator Report Posted January 23, 2014 I cut my lines first and then double bevel them. The tool I prefer is a beveled tickler. It will open the cut line, bevel, and burnish with one tool in a pas or two if the moisture is right. . I bevel the complete length of the lines, then go back and use a seeder at the intersections. Here is a link to my webpage that shows the profile of the beveled ticklers vs. regular ticklers - http://brucejohnsonleather.com/content/index.php/leather_tools_for_sale/leather-ticklers-for-sale/ .
