SCOUTER Report post Posted January 8, 2008 While the board was down I was going nuts! I finally had some time to play and this is a scaled down woodburning that I did in Leather. To give you an idea of the size, I used a QUARTER to make the moon in the Leather. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

TomSwede Report post Posted January 8, 2008 I like the leather piece better. Background look more realistic, nice touch. Tom Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Beaverslayer Report post Posted January 9, 2008 Scouter, very nice looking, gives a new demenssion to leatherworking. Is there a "smell" when you do that? Ken Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SCOUTER Report post Posted January 9, 2008 Beaver, Funny you ask about the smell. For me NONE what-so-ever. I am using Veg tanned leather. However I have heard stories about other tanned leather giving off a pungent odor. I also "burn" the leather while damp otherwise the iron is too hot and tends to scorch the leather unless I am going real fast. As for smells- One time I was making a custom pen for a guy out of IVORY. (pre-ban) Well when I started to drill, cut and turn the material my whole shop STUNK of buring teeth! (Like at the dentist) It was making me so sick I had to stop. I wound up making him a pen out of synthetic ivory and he LOVED it. Lessons learned-Plastic smells better then tooth and leave the Elephants alone! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
