I must be weird because I like the smell of burning leather. To me it smells like steak cooking. Mmmmmm.

The only caveat to etching some leathers, is with Black Leather. I usually warn my customers that I have had black leather turn everything from bright white, to so dark you have trouble seeing it. Black leather is a complete crap shoot as far as etch colour is concerned, and you will never know what the etch colour will be until the beam hits it. It's best to find a spot, or a insert (if it's a wallet for example) and do a test spot.

Experience is a wonderful thing.
It enables you to recognize a mistake when you make it again.

Since I make leather belts for a living, I bought my laser engraver mainly for engraving leather. I haven't had any problem at all. Here's a picture of a new kid's belt and buckle set I'm doing. Natural vegetable leather does engrave wonderfully.
