DIY Leather Stamp Plates for Embossing and Debossing with your laser engraver is very easy. I made my custom leather stamp debossing plates from 1/8″ cast acrylic on my Bescutter Versa 52″ x 36″ 150W CO2 laser. The first pass was set to “Ramp” engrave with a speed of 250 mm/s and a Min/Max power of 15/40 percent. The cleanup pass was done with a speed of 350 mm/s and Min/Max power set to 15/15 percent.

► LEATHER SUPPLIERS
Wickett & Craig – I typically order their “Tooling/Holster/Carving” vegetable tanned leather. I purchase their “Standard” grade, and I request that they split it down from a thicker hide so the back is as clean as possible. I normally order 7-8 ounce for holsters, 3-4 ounce if I’m lining a holster (I build the whole thing out of 3-4 ounce), and either 3-4 or 4-5 ounce for wallets, journal covers, etc… They will allow you to purchase individual hides
Herman Oak – While I love the leather I’ve gotten from Wickett & Craig, I prefer the warmer coloring of natural Herman Oak. Unfortunately, H.O. requires you to buy leather in bulk from the tannery, and buying from distributors can be hit & miss. Springfield Leather sells “Herman Oak Premium Belt Bend”, so I’ve been using this lately.
The Leather Guy – I don’t have a lot of experience with this leather, but the “Artisan’s Choice” leather I’ve used has been very nice. The coloration is similar to Wickett & Craig. The thing I really like about The Leather Guy’s website is that nearly every single hide shown on their site is a listing for the actual hide you’ll be buying, complete with photos and a description of blemishes for that particular hide. Very cool that they do that!
District Leather – I’ve never personally ordered from them, but I’ve heard good things about their leather.
Acadia Leather – I’ve never purchased from here either, but I’ve also heard good things about their leather.
Horween Leather – At the risk of sounding repetitive, here’s another I’ve never ordered from, but their leather is very well known.
Weaver Leathercraft – Most of what I order from weaver is buckles and tools, but they also sell leather.
