HWPO Training × Leatherius Woodman – a leather stamping study
From the Practice Log – an ongoing series of stamping studies on real-world logos.
An August study.
For HWPO Training.
For the warm-up, we put the HWPO logo on the toiletry bags – a blind press into black leather, so the four letters sit as pure shadow.


Next, we counted the work. Twenty tally strokes run the length of the luggage tag, with HARD WORK PAYS OFF set underneath – and the stroke that closes the final set is a loaded barbell.

The black tag carries the count in gold; the pale sand and chestnut tags take the blind press.

Then, the training log. The journal covers carry a week of checkboxes, every box checked, above SHOW UP – a streak you can run a thumb over. We ran the duo in black and pale sand, the same near-black-on-bone as their own pages.


And finally, we took the whole creed – "SHOW UP. WORK HARD. MAKE YOURSELF PROUD." – and struck it as a seal. The words run the rim, and at the center sits a barbell seen from the end, five plates deep.

Looks great when stamped onto the leather.

The same seal runs at full size on the catchall tray – where the keys land once the day's work is done.

We made this out of love. Leatherius Woodman is on a mission to create and share artifacts of beauty, craft and love – this study is one of them, and we hope the feeling is mutual. Every image is a render – how we prototype before cutting a die.
