realfEZ Posted November 25, 2012 Posted November 25, 2012 Hello! This is my today's cutting. I have used bicast leather (see bottom frame texture) All other material is HDF hardboard (3 layers : one for thickenning/cutting the leather layer, one for the backer (painted with spray paint), last for the back). Thanks for your interest Creations by Cody and Travis 2 Quote

DWSUDEKUM Posted November 27, 2012 Posted November 27, 2012 Excellent work. I have never tried to scroll leather before... did you sandwich it when you cut it? DW realfEZ 1 Quote
realfEZ Posted November 27, 2012 Author Posted November 27, 2012 Thanks to all for the comments! No Marg, it is actually easier than wood and so much that I had to sanwich it with hardboard ( to answer DW's question). It is a material I do recommend, noble and fun to cut... See you soon wombatie 1 Quote
amazingkevin Posted November 28, 2012 Posted November 28, 2012 Ah you let the cat out of the bag as to the secret of cutting the leather ,THANKS.Beautyfull work! realfEZ 1 Quote
realfEZ Posted November 29, 2012 Author Posted November 29, 2012 (edited) Yeah Kevin and there is more... Because the leather I have worked on for this project was only approx. 1.5 mm thick, I had to glue the leather on hardboard the get rigidity leather lacks. Plus another layer of hardboard on the top to stick the pattern on. Finally I have used additional nails in offcuts-to-be areas. See picture. All this to avoid leather from fraying... Of course no need to nail nor glue with thicker leathers (3mm+ thick...) Edited June 13, 2017 by realfEZ wombatie and Travis 2 Quote
