Members biker55 Posted July 6, 2018 Members Report Posted July 6, 2018 Hi all, pardon my ignorance.do you stamp after you mold the leather or before? Thanks Quote
Members DJole Posted July 6, 2018 Members Report Posted July 6, 2018 It's hard to stamp after you mold the leather into a shape. It could be done, but it would require a molding object rigid enough to stand up to repeated blows and to make crisp impressions. Plus, you would now be working in 3-D, instead of working on a flat surface. So stamping or tooling is going to come first, before you mold the tooled/stamped leather around the object. Quote \D.

Contributing Member JLSleather Posted July 17, 2018 Contributing Member Report Posted July 17, 2018 Either way - what's called "tooled" leather is often done flat, "embossing" leather is often done after basic forming. I don't have much use for 3-d "set it on a shelf somewhere to look at" leather, but it IS done. Quote "Observation is 9/10 of the law." IF what you do is something that ANYBODY can do, then don't be surprised when ANYBODY does.
