Capture the essence of the wild with every strike. This strutting turkey stamp is specifically designed for leatherworkers who want to add a high-end, outdoor aesthetic to their custom pieces. Because it is crafted from durable 1/4″ (6mm) acrylic, this stamp handles the intense pressure of your shop press without failing. Consequently, you receive a crisp, lifelike deboss that sets your work apart from the competition.
Why choose our acrylic stamps? First, the transparent nature of the acrylic allows you to align the design perfectly on your leather piece. Therefore, you eliminate the guesswork and avoid costly mistakes on expensive hides. Additionally, the deep-relief engraving ensures that the intricate feather patterns and the turkey’s characteristic pose remain bold and defined. While this standard design stands 2″ tall, it provides a substantial focal point for larger projects. Furthermore, since we manufacture these in-house, we can ensure the highest quality control for every piece that leaves our shop.
Key Features:
Heavy-Duty Build: Made from 1/4″ thick acrylic to withstand repeated use in a clicker or arbor press.
Intricate Detail: Specifically engraved to highlight the fine lines of the tail feathers and wing bars.
Ideal Sizing: The 2″ height makes it the perfect centerpiece for wallets, notebook covers, or custom holsters.
Clear Alignment: See through the tool for exact placement every single time.
Usage Tip: For maximum impact, ensure your vegetable-tanned leather is properly cased (dampened) before pressing. Because this design has a lot of surface area, using a mechanical press will yield the most consistent and professional results.
***SPECIAL NOTE: How to Use Your Stamp***
Important! Never use a hammer! We design this stamp for steady, even pressure, not sharp hits. Therefore, using a hammer will definitely break the acrylic stamp and cancel your lifetime guarantee.
You must use an arbor press or a vise for the best impressions. First, remember that the leather needs to be cased (wetted). Use a wet sponge to moisten the entire piece of leather evenly. Otherwise, if you don’t wet all the leather, you will get water spots on the finished project. We create the images you see in this listing using a press and a thick piece of leather placed on top of the stamp to spread out the pressure.
Arbor Press Instructions:
- Place your cased leather on a strong, solid surface directly under the press’s anvil.
- Put the stamp on top of the cased leather.
- Place a solid block (wood or metal works best) on top of the stamp. This helps to spread the pressure evenly.
- Apply slow, downward pressure with the press and hold it for 15-20 seconds.
- Check your result. Repeat as needed to get the perfect depth.
Vise Instructions:
- Put your cased leather and the stamp between two hard objects, like a board. Squeeze them tightly so the stamp does not move.
- Place this setup inside your vise.
- Tighten the vise slowly and hold the pressure for 15-20 seconds.
- Release the vise and check how deep the imprint is. Repeat as necessary.
This stamp includes a lifetime guarantee. If, for any reason, the stamp stops giving an acceptable image, simply return it, and we will send you a new one. However, the guarantee is void if you use the stamp with a hammer.
