Carve cursive writing? (pic)

[PeytonMontana]

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.

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.

You could do that with a grooving tool as well, just remove the edve guide.

Yea looks burned to me. I do some leather burning with an inexpensive wood burner and the line looks like that.

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
