Actually there is no such thing since geometric tools, by design, produce a uniform consistant pattern; while whicker is a non uniform pattern made up of elements of varying thicknesses and texture. Your best bet to reproduce something that looks like whicker, would be to tool it in by hand with a swivel knife and beveling so as to get the varying appearance. It would be easier to do than you might think, since you wouldn't need to concentrate so much on maintaing a strict uniformity in the pattern. Quote
Members rejerome Posted November 19, 2014 Author Members Report Posted November 19, 2014 Thanks for the reply. Actually there is, but I've learned that it's actually 2 stamps and I also finally found the maker late yesterday. Clay Miller in Arizona makes the stamps. Example below. Thanks again....... Quote

Thanks again....... wicker.jpg But that is not a wicker pattern since it could not be woven with the semi rigid materials used in wicker work You would need to use soft, very pliable material to effect that weave Quote
Members WyomingSlick Posted November 20, 2014 Members Report Posted November 20, 2014 Forgot to add a thank you for drawing my attention to Clay Miller and his tools I spent quite some time on his facebook page looking at the innovative things he is coming up with I urge everyone to take a look https://www.facebook.com/leatherstampsbyclaymiller Quote
