Title: One of a kind
Review: Al Stohlman books are some of the best books on leather out there. I don't know of any other book that shows you how to emboss leather. In this book, Mr. Stohlman shows you how to create leather pieces with raised designs by creating leather plugs and "pushing" your cased design out from the back. There is a section on preparing your leather for embossing as well as choosing the right weight leather for your project.The directions are clear and step by step and color pics of finished works are included. There are several projects in the book that walk you through different techniqes of embossing; from basic to how to emboss animal teeth on a dog and a cougar, how to put in glass eyes on an owl, raised letters, flowers, birds legs, as well as a project for a free standing bird, etc. Great book. (This book only includes embossing techniques- for how to carve your embossed leather project, see Pictorial Carving Finesse by Al Stohlman, Figure Carving by Al Stohlman, etc)
