ABHandmade Report post Posted April 27, 2018 (edited) Mike, did I understand correctly that you use in this work a beveler without carving? And I join Gary in the question of leather. Looks very good! Andrey. Edited April 27, 2018 by ABHandmade Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

immiketoo Report post Posted April 27, 2018 I do it all the time on fine details. I didn't read his question like that though. The runes are not cut, only beveled. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Because I did not see the traces of a cut on the runes. Mike confirmed that this is the case. Thank you! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

But on the runes there is clearly a very smooth difference in heights, which is usually achievable only in the case when the leather is not cut. I wanted to check if my guess is correct.

It is exactly that I do not see any obvious traces of the leather cut and caused my admiration for your professionalism.
