DJole Report post 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.

JLSleather Report post 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 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
