  • My oldest son, Logan, joined me in the shop this year. This video shows him making our 2018 laser engraved leather Christmas tree ornament from start to finish. While this is not 'traditional' leather work, the goal for this year's ornament design was to come up with something that could be produced more easily than designs we've created in previous years, as well as something my son could make entirely on his own.
    Take care, and Merry Christmas!
    Eric & Logan Adams

    ► LEATHER SUPPLIERS
    Wickett & Craig - I typically order their "Tooling/Holster/Carving" vegetable tanned leather. I purchase their "Standard" grade, and I request that they split it down from a thicker hide so the back is as clean as possible. I normally order 7-8 ounce for holsters, 3-4 ounce if I'm lining a holster (I build the whole thing out of 3-4 ounce), and either 3-4 or 4-5 ounce for wallets, journal covers, etc... They will allow you to purchase individual hides
    Herman Oak - While I love the leather I've gotten from Wickett & Craig, I prefer the warmer coloring of natural Herman Oak. Unfortunately, H.O. requires you to buy leather in bulk from the tannery, and buying from distributors can be hit & miss. Springfield Leather sells "Herman Oak Premium Belt Bend", so I’ve been using this lately.
    The Leather Guy - I don't have a lot of experience with this leather, but the "Artisan's Choice" leather I've used has been very nice. The coloration is similar to Wickett & Craig. The thing I really like about The Leather Guy's website is that nearly every single hide shown on their site is a listing for the actual hide you'll be buying, complete with photos and a description of blemishes for that particular hide. Very cool that they do that!
    District Leather - I've never personally ordered from them, but I've heard good things about their leather.
    Acadia Leather - I've never purchased from here either, but I've also heard good things about their leather.
    Horween Leather - At the risk of sounding repetitive, here's another I've never ordered from, but their leather is very well known.
    Weaver Leathercraft - Most of what I order from weaver is buckles and tools, but they also sell leather.

      Nothing wrong with hand sewing! I've been trying to do it more lately. My biggest hurdle is I need a better stitching pony. Yes, lasers aren't cheap. They work great, once you figure out the right settings for the material you're working with and keep them clean & aligned/focused (which is hard in my shop setting with woodworking tools around it). I ran a series of signage jobs (cutting out individual letters several inches tall) on my laser, cutting 1/2" MDF and plywood. It can take a couple hours or more for a single 24" x 40" sheet of material, and you have to babysit the machine the entire time (due to the risk of the material catching on fire). Take care Jim, and thanks for watching and commenting!

      Sorry for the late reply - we just used watered down white acrylic paint from the craft store.

      Thanks for watching and for the compliment! The violet paper is actually 12" wide blue masking tape, which I ordered off of Amazon.
