realfEZ Posted November 25, 2012 Report Share 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 Travis and Creations by Cody 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DWSUDEKUM Posted November 27, 2012 Report Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

realfEZ Posted November 27, 2012 Author Report Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

amazingkevin Posted November 28, 2012 Report Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
realfEZ Posted November 29, 2012 Author Report Share 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 Travis and wombatie 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
