Book "AL STOHLMAN'S TOP 20" - Al Stohlman's 20 favorite models

LEATHER REPUBLISHED MODELS

This book presents 20 refined models of leather embossing, for enthusiasts with a little experience.

You will find models there:
- horses (alone, in a group, with a cowboy, with an Indian, with a foal)
- wild animals (deer, pheasant, bird)
- flowers and trees
- fishing and hunting scenes

For each drawing, there is a photo of the final result and a drawing giving the outline of the pattern that will have to be reproduced on the leather using a tracing paper, then cut using a knife to open and finally carry out the embossing with stamps on handle.

The author also suggests areas of leather to be completely removed in order to open up the design and thus give more relief. You will easily identify them because they are in orange on the drawings, but you can also leave the leather and do an embossing using background stamps.

There are also 5 pages with lots of very clear diagrams explaining how to sew with 2 needles and how to do different types of lacing.

Finally, this book also gives 3 different alphabet models that you can enlarge or reduce using a photocopier.

In this book, the explanations are in English, but the numerous drawings will allow you to easily understand the instructions.
