Leather Carving With Electric Engraver Tool,

[shadowryder]

This may be sacrilage to the purists of our craft but I have tried many times to do traditional and cannot get it to work out,

So I decided to experiment on a job I,ve been asked to do with my engraving tool.

I was asked to do a tribal wolf on a small bobber seat,

This is what I,ve done so far..

Can't comment on the carving because it is so blurry that I can't even tell what it is.

unfortunately that is the worst of 4 pictures I took but site is telling me the other 3 are too big to go on the post,and I do not know how to resize them.

[shadowryder]

I also had thoughts on the wood branding tool to see if it any good,

Hi shadowryder. Yes, it looks real good. It doesn't have the richness of hand tooled, but the detail is great and it looks as good as the stamped logos I've seen on some products. I'm paraplegic with a broken back. I'll be trying out your method soon, so as to avoid swinging a mallet.
