Who got the THING (and the skill to use it)?

[JLSleather]

Any can do a sort-of filigree in fairly heavy leather?  Probably a laser job, though a plotter may be able to do it.

"Could" take a job needing a script font name cut out of leather about 7/8 oz, and probably be done in bridle leather (or harness if it's purdy).

Anybody doing that?  References?

I could do a few of these on occasion, but certainly won't be doing enough to warrant equipment purchase.  Prefer to hire someone already has that skill if possible.

Maybe I should have posted in "help wanted"?  

If you can basically do a FILIGREE in HEAVY LEATHER... I have a gal wants a NAME in CURSIVE FONT.  It "could" be tooled and painted, or tooled and filigreed traditionally with a knife, or .... laser cut would likely be the cleanest method.

So, WHO cuts a NAME in CURSIVE FONT in "heavy" leather (8 oz) for a fee?  Need it MORE clear?  I'm wiling to PAY to have it done. But NOT looking for somebody to "partner with";  it's a one-time 'gig' IF the time frame and terms are acceptable.

SO FAR, looking on line, I have found a couple places that do that, but not a word about pricing or time frame. I understand "custom", but surely you can give a ballpark figure, like "$x per inch" or something like that - the CUTTING isn't custom... you input a graphic file and hit the "go" button.  Most want us to sign up, or register, or some other means of then spamming us to no end for the next decade.
