AussieMade Report post Posted June 11, 2018 Had my first real go at doing a little carving for a client. The client found my business page through FB and decided to get her Partner a Tobacco Pouch for her birthday. This is the results. Her Partner loved it, and I thought I done an ok job for my first time carving anything. I used 2mm Veg Tan for the outer, and Veg Kangaroo for the papers holder. Dark Brown Antique dye and Seal 'N'Shine from Maclace and Oakwoods Conditioner to finish it off. A few things I would change next time (Getting a Lettering Craftaid next time). The Client wanted a rustic look. All in all, It came out all right. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
garypl Report post Posted June 11, 2018 Nice job! Letter stamps or a template will make your letters uniform. I like to background the field around the letters and/or paint the letters so they stand out more (if this is the effect you want.). Like this: Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

These stamps are similar to (if not exactly the same as) Tandy Classic Western Font Letter Stamps #8131 ... I think that number is correct, but they are widely available. Priced from around $50USD to $85USD on eBay. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
