Members Averya Posted February 26, 2014 Members Report Posted February 26, 2014 I've been asked to make a custom breast collar to match a saddle, The saddle has a serpentine pattern that I am unfamiliar with. Can anyone tell me what stamps are used for it. Many thanks Quote
Contributing Member JLSleather Posted February 26, 2014 Contributing Member Report Posted February 26, 2014 Shaped like a rope stamp. BUT, $8 says that's an embossing roll, not a stamp at all.

Members treybecca Posted February 26, 2014 Members Report Posted February 26, 2014 I agree too clean to be a stamp. Embossing roll, depending on the maker could be done with a machine. Quote
Moderator bruce johnson Posted February 27, 2014 Moderator Report Posted February 27, 2014 This came up not too long ago in another place, maybe one of the Facebook groups if it wasn't here.. Pretty sure it was found to be a stamp. My peabrain is leaning toward Hackbarth, but I am not home to check that. omebody may have made a roll too, but not finding it in a quick check of my McMillen catalog.

Members Averya Posted February 27, 2014 Author Members Report Posted February 27, 2014 The saddle is a circle Y saddle. I wonder how an embossing roll could go around all the curves....but then I don't know about embossing rolls. Bruce, if you can come up with something PALEESE let me know. Quote
Members howie696 Posted February 27, 2014 Members Report Posted February 27, 2014 I'm sure its a stamp the impressions are sightly up and down if you look closely Quote

It's not uniform enough to be an embossing roll. I've never seen embossed leather look so cleanly beveled either. Then again, I haven't seen all that much embossed leather. But the slight irregularities lead me to believe it can't be rolled. Quote
Moderator bruce johnson Posted February 27, 2014 Moderator Report Posted February 27, 2014 I found either that stamp or its brother. It is a Jeremiah Watt stamp, but like all the borders, not showing up on his website. I don't know if he has discontinued borders or I am jut not seeing them. It is listed in my 2 year old Weaver catalog as a "running border".

Members joe59 Posted February 27, 2014 Members Report Posted February 27, 2014 I just checked the Weaver retail site and the Jeremiah Watt stamp is on there. The small one is unavailable but the large one is there. I have both sizes and both make great borders. JOE Quote
Members Averya Posted February 27, 2014 Author Members Report Posted February 27, 2014 Thanks so much everyone....I will recheck the Weaver site.....I didn't see it listed yesterday......Really appreciate everyone's assistance Quote
