PeytonMontana Report post Posted June 16, 2016 Can anyone suggest what tool you'd use to 'write' the cursive letters like this? In person, the top line is only 1/2 high. It looks like there was real flow to this, so I can't see it being from a blade. Or, I could be totally wrong about that :/ It's almost like it was carved with a dremel bit or something (I don't even know if that's possible). Big thanks.

Big Sioux Saddlery Report post Posted June 17, 2016 Looks to me like it might have been burned into the leather with a soldering iron or wood burning tool. Some kind of Dremel tool might give the same look. You can see by the darker marks where the tool stopped and started. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Colt W Knight Report post Posted June 17, 2016 You could do that with a grooving tool as well, just remove the edve guide. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Boriqua Report post Posted June 18, 2016 Yea looks burned to me. I do some leather burning with an inexpensive wood burner and the line looks like that. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
PeytonMontana Report post Posted June 18, 2016 Thanks everyone. I didn't even know that tool existed, but it makes perfect sense.. thanks for the exact name, threepets! I just assumed it was just dye/stain settling into the carving that gave it the 'burnt look'. Appreciate the help Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
