Two Different Belt Basket Stamping Styles

This video shows two different ways to run any basket stamp on a belt in order to get a different look. The Arrow Basket Stamp style has always been a popular one for us along with the Angles Basket Stamp variation.

Give these a shot on some scrap leather and see if you can incorporate these arrangements into your next belt project.

He makes really nice tools and is a good contact to have if you are a leather tooler. Great source for high quality hand tools.

Make sure the nails on your stabilizing are trimmed so you don't leave scratches or impressions on the leather if they come in contact.

Great video! If you were going to buy those stamps, where could you get them?

If you have any trick on crazy leg stamps for not getting the diagonal line where they meet up... I'll take it ^^ Love doing the arrowhead basketweave, one of my favorite, fast and easy !

Is there some sort of pvc wrap on that maul?

How wide are the edges outside your stamping, Don? 3/16, 3/8 inch? Nice looking pattern, I'll have to try that on my next belt / sling project...on the diagonal pattern, couldn't you run a 45° start line, to help?

Can we do stamping on finished leather? If so, how?
