I've been trying to convince myself to learn 3D modelling so I could make a maker's mark stamp, but without success (every time I try it all gets too hard!). So, having recently bought one of those dinky little laser engravers I thought "I wonder....". A bit of doodling later with photoshop and I got something that sort of works. Not sure how practical it is yet. The round one gives better detail on the cactus but smaller printing, the oval one is probably a better design, with larger lettering, but then I loose detail on the cactus.:rolleyes2:

A work-in-progress, as they say. Oh, and burning into garment leather (chrome tan, I guess) stinks!!!!!!!

Please do not laser chrome leather as I understand it gives off cyanide gas which is not very good for long life, veg tan is fine

if you have proper ventilation its not a problem to cut or engrave Chrome Tanned leather. Its one of my favorites to work with. It does cut hard tho full power needed to cut

Well that's what I thought but this logo would indicate your in Arizona, since the picture of this cactus is a Saguaro and they only grow in Arizona and the sonoran desert:)

Confusing, isn't it?:lol: I shoot single action and my persona is Cactus Jack Slade, hence the cactus when I was tossing around ideas for a maker's mark. IF I ever make things for sale it should confuse people slightly.

Particularly if I put "Made in Australia" underneath.:whistle:

Just a bit LOL. I didn't know you SA in OZ, is that like Our Cowboy Action Shooting. I did that when I was younger. Lots of fun.
