ancient chinese secret
print the logo from a picture..... wet the leather.... let it sit about 3
minutes and soak up the water... lay the picture on the leather, and
trace it with a ball point pen... the pressure from the pen leaves a
slight darkening of the leather... then tediously cut the design out
with a swivel knive... about 1/16" deep, then depress the area around
the letters and arrowhead to make them look more 3D, then hand paint
all of the design with 2 coats of paint, and seal with a leather clear coat..
arrowhead took about 4 hours to do...
