Good looking bookmarks and great usage for smaller pieces of scrap leather.

[@lindagatchell8079]

How thick was the leather that you used for these? TIA

Please allow the name of the tool that decorated the leather belt and thank you

I used a leather carving knife (swivel knife) and stamps.
I started with this stamp set, and bought a few individually from Tandy Leather as well: amzn.to/32D6utW

Do you also seal the back of the bookmark?

[@skippylearn]

Hello tks for the vid...what size thickness was the leather u used. And where did u get it from thanks. Beautiful work!!

[@MorleyKert]

5-6 oz leather from tandy, though thinner may be better for a bookmark!

[@skippylearn]

@@MorleyKert why thinner, I would think u want it to be ridget

[@MorleyKert]

It would just be easier to close the book with the bookmark inside. It's personal preference, up to you!

[@skippylearn]

Thanks 4 getting back!

Hello. What weight and cut of leather do you use for the bookmarks?

[@MorleyKert]

I think I used scraps from a 4/5 or 5/6 Oz shoulder.

@@MorleyKert thank you for the response!

OLD Leather Smith here, your stamping work is excellent, but your sound is set 2 low. Even your swivel work is ok. Please bin the future adjust your sound up. GOD'S BLESSINGS ✝️⚾🙃
