| STAMPING OF LEATHER |
- A hard material carrying a design on its surface is applied with some force to another surface. In one method, the material carrying the design is applied with enough pressure so as to transfer an impression of that design onto the leather, which may be moistened, to which it was applied. In another method, the material carrying the design is heated and applied to wet leather. Those areas of the leather exposed to the heated parts of the design become darker in color than the empty spaces in the design.
# A distinction between tooling and stamping is neither precise nor consistent, since both involve impressing leather with a design. Generally, stamping seems to suggest larger, more complicated designs being impressed at one time and not built up out of smaller parts, impressed separately.
