KINGSMERE CRAFTS
HAND-CRAFTED LEATHER GOODS
Hand-tools for decorating leather
The tools shown in the illustrations give an indication of their use just judging by their names. Though in practice their uses are interchangeable. It is very often the case that a tool intended for a particular purpose is eminently suitable for an entirely different one.

Backgrounder, veiner, beveller, (swivel knife), seeder, mulefoot and pear shader stamps |
Backgrounder tools are very often just known as punches or stamps. They are intended for making a general background and for camouflaging.

Pear shader stamps |
The beveller has a curved face on its head to avoid making a too sharp impression at its edges. It is for depressing areas around the lines of the design to bring it into relief. It is held in an upright position with its front face in the cut, it is given a sharp tap with the mallet, and you move along the cut tapping as you go.
