More about this video Leather carving for beginners - swivel knife tutorial - How to transfer pattern onto leather.
Whatever design you can draw onto a piece of paper you can transfer over to the wet and cased leather with a small C.S. Osborne saddlers awl.

You can make a leather tap off pattern and use it over and over and quickly transfer you design so it can be cut in and tooled.

As you can see in this YouTube tutorial I tapped off the design and I have a faint mark that I can use to follow and cut the flower design into the leather.

I am using a brass Barry King swivel knife with a 1/2" barrel and the blade is hollow ground straight 1/4" in width.

After the leather dries out a little bit but is still slightly damp I will bevel around the flower with a Craftool B802 and use a 22 ounce Maul Master leather maul for tapping the leather tool.

You can see in just a minute or so I cut this flower into the leather after I tapped it off.
