Using Tony’s modeling spoons to tool leather with detail.

How to tool fine detail in leather using Tony Allen Bernier modeling spoons.

Fine Detail Modeling Spoons

Ultrafine, Fine, and Standard. Fine detail petal lifters are also available. Over the years Tony made and modified several modeling spoons for very fine detail work in leather. While he was working on the piece titled Liquid Multiverse for the cover of the Leather Crafters and Saddlers Journal he finally found the shape that worked best for getting those ultra fine details in. These tools were used during the process of making that piece.
