TheCyberwolfe Report post Posted January 28, 2016 Dying the leather will affect how well it absorbs water for the casing stage, so typically you will get better results by stamping first. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

NVLeatherWorx Report post Posted January 29, 2016 You should never dye/stain first; all carving & tooling/stamping must be done before anything else to ensure the fullest result from your tools. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
