Posts: 16 Gender:	Re: ASK QUESTIONS HERE Reply #1036 - Nov 17^th, 2020 at 12:31pm I want to try burning someone's name onto the leather pouch. I'm worried that it will weaken the pouch. Any thoughts? Maybe if that is the case I could put the name on a small piece of leather for the release, but for that size I may only be able to do initials. 🤔

Some stuff is fairly thin and can hold up to abuse unless it's damaged in some way. And then the parties over. Thicker leather shouldn't be a huge problem so long as you aren't using a blowtorch to put the name in.

In general I wouldn't have much concern with it weakening the leather. If you have a small piece of scrap leather, you can burn a line on it, and then do some stress tests to see if it breaks on the burn line.

Most of the leather that comes from craft stores is chrome tanned upholstery-grade leather. Chrome tanned leather is softer than veg-tanned tooling leather, but I don't think you'll weaken it too much.

I've used a cheap Super Carver laser engraver on that type of leather before. If you get the settings right, it can look pretty good, but you definitely have to be careful not to overheat the leather or it will start to make wrinkles around where you burn it. I've also had trouble with the smoke soaking into the leather and leaving marks.
