Yep believe it or not i've done yet another key fob. This new version involved letter carving, and i believe is an improvement on my first attempt at lettering. On a side note i was browsing the Tandy Leather Store catalogue and discovered Letter Stamps in a variety of sizes!!. I will be definitely buying a set or 2 of these to replace the current tracing and free hand lettering i have been trying.
I'm much happier with my tooling of this key fob, the impressions are much more defined and symmetrical. Unfortunately i think i should have waited longer to stain the centre section after applying the resist super sheen. i can see where the super sheen has picked up the DK brown dye in various sections. I also think i should have used a lighter highlight stain to color the centre. I used DK brown dye and probably should have used Brair Brown highlight....but you live and learn.
