    Discuss Leather Maps

    Hello, I am starting a leather map soon and I am wondering if anybody has any tips for leather maps. I am going to burn the leather to make a map and I really want some tips for techniques.

    Is the intention to have fun doing the leather work or just to get the result. If you use a laser engraver then they burn leather really well so you could do the whole map in black and white digitally until your happy and then laser it on to leather.

    My intention is burning it into the leather using a burning tool that you hold. You would first draw on the leather with a pencil or chalk pencil then retrace with the burning tool.
