Custom Leather Engraving
The feel and smell of natural leather has no equal and is the perfect canvas for engraving. Leather is a traditional and versatile medium ideal for creating a wide range of custom images, lettering, and decorative ornamentation.
Some of the best types of leather to use for engraving include the following:
- Natural leather
- Napped leather
- Nubuck leather
- Suede
Sheets of raw leather are durable, take to engraving well, and create a high-value product after a visually striking design is made. Leather is an optimal medium because it is supple yet resilient enough to handle being carved, burned, stamped, cut, or punched without losing quality.
Many traditional engravers perforate, stamp, and carve into leather manually using time-tested steel tools and a steady hand. A hand chisel and a leather mallet can create detailed designs by carving and cutting into the layers of leather, gradually leaving behind an embossed image.
Advancements in engraving technology allow leatherworkers more freedom and creativity to create flawless, stunning imagery. Leather designs can be burned into the material with precision by machine using a laser.
