Hello from Sunny,hot, and dry Arizona LOL

Recommended Posts

Well I joined this forum a couple days ago to find out about making a leather book cover for a Hardback book.I've been reading threads and jumping in on a few things I'm familiar with and still haven't got around to asking about my book cover LOL .I've been dabbling in leather work on and off for a couple years. I'm mostly into laser engraving wood, acrylic and decided to see what I could do with leather and the laser and wa la I'm hooked on lasering leather . I make custom engraved leather knife cases for Buck 110 Hunting knife and other knives of that size and shape.

Hi Burt

Very interested in the laser engraving. Looks very precise. What machines/tools do you use?

Thanks for the welcome . I have a Rabbit USA 6040- 60 watt co2 laser engraver. Yea its very precise. I design the patterns in corel then transfer the design to the laser. It cuts and engraves the leather then I do all the finish work by hand. I bevel the edges, hand sew the sheath, then hand mold it to fit a knife, then I buff the edges and give them 2 coats of edge coat and finally give the whole sheath 2 coats of resolene   .Funny I notice both of you spelled my name wrong LOL
