Version one is almost compete. I added some ivy embossing around the edge, as well as a sharp line blank border.
- Using a hand held embossing wheel works much better on leather that has been dampened with a sponge. Use a metal straight edge and work your way slowly along the length in a back and forth manner, roughly 2 inches forward then 1.5 inches backwards, to get a deep embossed pattern.
- Don't try to cut the straight border lines or bevel the edges of wet leather -- it should be dry.
- Use a light coat of stain, let it dry, and follow with a darker coat of stain for an aged look.
