Decorative cutting tips for leather tooling that when executed make a huge difference

Decorative cuts can make or break your tooling. When done right they can add flow and dimension to your pattern.
The flower I’m working on is from my “Leather Tooling Pattern Book- Variety Pack ~Vol 1”

You do some beautiful work. I'm a new subscriber...also new to leather craft (almost a year into it, but have only been attempting 'tooling' for about 2 months). My cuts always look like someone hit it with a hatchet!! Everyone keeps saying practice!!! That's what I need I guess ;) thanks Joe!!

[@popscratchie3985]

When I've been watching carving videos it seems like most people use the flat blades do you always use a flat blade rather than an angled blade or are there some instances when you would use an angled blade ?

[@joemeling3216]

That’s a great question. Your blade is really a personal preference thing. I always use a straight blade.

@@joemeling3216 Hi Joe I also would like to get your pattern book, Ive tried the above address with out any success, can you help.

[@joemeling3216]

Michael Kasta Hello Michael, I apologize for the inconvenience. I was having some website issues the other day. It has been fixed now though and the link above is back to working. There are two options for the book. The digital copy which you download and print or the physical copy that gets mailed out to you.

Joe,I’m a hack compared to you.

[@joemeling3216]

Keep at it, you’ll get there!
