Waranafella Report post Posted January 1, 2018 Looks good. Was the lettering done by hand? It is challenging to do lettering that small and remain readable, good job. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Sort of when I have to do lettering (which gawd how I hate!) I select a print type that I like from word, print it out, adjust the size a bit if needed, trace it on to the leather then either use a stylis or modelling spoon to get the depth right Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
