eandrese Report post Posted November 18, 2014 I love the lettering. I can imagine how nervous one may get about halfway in knowing any error will be a show stopper. Are there any good threads in lettering I can search for that others know about? What process was used for this lettering? Beautiful work! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Colt W Knight Report post Posted November 18, 2014 I love the lettering. I can imagine how nervous one may get about halfway in knowing any error will be a show stopper. Are there any good threads in lettering I can search for that others know about? What process was used for this lettering? Beautiful work! The company logos I copied a picture from the website, and printed them out to full size. These were low resolution, so I actually had to redraw the outline of the lettering. 1. Print out text 2. I use packing tape to cover the back of the text. 3. Case the leather. 4. Tape the print off to the leather 5. Use a stylus or modeling spoon to trace the outline from the paper to the leather. 6. Remove paper 7. Use a sharp swivel knife to cut all the trace marks 8. I use 2 sizes of smooth bevelers to bevel the letters 9. I use a modeling spoon to smooth out the beveler marks. The initials inside were a simple stamp set. I also made this for the same client, he was actually one of my University professors. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
