Was This Done With A Laser?

[Sheilajeanne]

I know next to nothing about laser printing on leather. Was this notebook cover done with a laser?
COULD something like this be done with a laser?

a. Those come in a variety, with different messages

b. I saw a live one in Belfast, about New Year time afair. By the feel of the lettering and the smell it certainly felt and smelt like it was burnt in using a laser

Thanks, Fred. Yeah, I got a PM saying basically the same thing. 

Seriously thinking about getting one now - need to read up on the threads here! Of course, I wouldn't try to do something so big and elaborate, but it's so much nicer looking than the clunky letter stamps I've been using up until now. I've free-handed a few sets of initials, but that has its limits, too, as there's only so small you can go, and still do a nice job of the tooling!

Yes, thats a  engraved leather piece, theyve done a good job IMO.

I have decided to dive into the Laser engraving, albeit, very small. I bought a diode laser engraver that is only three watts for $250.

I know it is limited somewhat in what you can do. I am going to set it up next week. Inexpensive way to get my feet wet.
