皮革烙畫

I’ve been pyrographing on wood for a while, but this guide made the switch to leather feel totally doable—the author’s explanations of temperature and tip selection are spot-on. Finished my first stamped wallet in an afternoon, and the results look way more professional than I expected.

The step-by-step photos in this book made my first leather project surprisingly smooth, even though I’d only ever worked with wood before. Parsons explains the temperature and pressure adjustments so clearly that I got a crisp, dark burn on my first try.

I was a bit intimidated by leather as a beginner, but the way this book breaks down preparation and basic tool handling made it click for me. The section on working with different leather thicknesses is especially clear.
