Buffalo leather laptop sleeve

The first demo came out really nice, except I forgot to unite the paths in the writing (oops). This was my first time using snap marks and they worked very well. That is an amazing feature that I can’t wait to use on other projects.

Simple jig setup and the GF took it from there. The engraved areas are filled with a dye that I made to help with the contrast. Looking forward to getting these onto my store!

Thanks! It took a little experimentation, and many pieces of leather suffered, but it works very well.

Great work on finding a dye that works & doesn’t also bleed into the grain on the unetched areas!
