Members TomG Posted June 26, 2015 Members Report Posted June 26, 2015 Looks hand cut to me. Print it on paper, trace onto a cased strap and carve/bevel. Quote Tom Gregory Legacy Leathercraft www.legacyleathercraft.com www.etsy.com/shop/legacyleathercraft
Chief31794 Posted June 26, 2015 Report Posted June 26, 2015 Looks embossed to me, like it may have been done with a Plate. I could be wrong, that happens a lot lately. Chief Quote "Life's too short to carry ugly leather"
Members Nuttish Posted June 26, 2015 Members Report Posted June 26, 2015 Agree with Chief. Look at the letterforms and you'll see that they're identical. For example, that A is peculiar - the right diagonals are a different height (shorter x-height) than the rest of the character. They're all the same in the image you posted. Quote
Contributing Member BillB Posted June 27, 2015 Contributing Member Report Posted June 27, 2015 What is interesting is the "A" in the uppermost "Shovelhead" is revers from the other "A"s. Quote Bill B. Nead
Members BondoBobCustomSaddles Posted June 27, 2015 Members Report Posted June 27, 2015 And of course now the speculation begins. I agree with Chief, however; Bill's astute observation leads to the question, how did this happen? Perhaps the answer will lead to a revelation! Enough of that. The fact that the letters on each leather strip are (relative to the others on that strip) the dame depth and in line and so on, makes me think as Chief said, done with a plate. Perhaps the plate was laser cut for each design which would explain how the "A" could be reversed on that shovelhead strip, since the creator of the program that cut the plate, could easily have reversed it for some reason of his own, perhaps to cause us to wonder in amazement! Enjoy the quarry! Bob Quote
Thor Posted June 27, 2015 Report Posted June 27, 2015 What is interesting is the "A" in the uppermost "Shovelhead" is revers from the other "A"s. Just to confuse you even more. The same goes for the E and for the D. But even though I think it's a plate. Quote
Members billybopp Posted June 27, 2015 Members Report Posted June 27, 2015 I'll put my money on computer generated image that's then CNC'd or lasered onto a plate. The equipment to do the job is expensive, so initial outlay for that sort of thing would be high, but the materials and usage after that are relatively cheap so it would probably be economical to do one-off designs that way.
