Seabrook Travel Center × Leatherius Woodman – a leather stamping study
From the Practice Log – an ongoing series of stamping studies on real-world marks.
A July study.
Seabrook Travel Center is a travel agency in Seabrook, New Hampshire – seacoast country, where the marsh brooks run out to meet the Atlantic. Their name reached my bench set in plain type, and plain type presses flat. So this study started with a question the town itself answers: what does sea plus brook look like as a single mark?
The answer that survived the sketchbook is a lighthouse standing on a wave that slips away as a winding brook – drawn in strokes bold enough for a two-millimetre brass die, with nothing fine to crumble under the press.

For the leathers I stayed on their coast: a pale sea-glass blue, a shell blush, and black – because gold belongs on black.
These are renders – how I prototype before cutting a die. This page is an unsolicited study, made out of admiration; Leatherius Woodman is not affiliated with Seabrook Travel Center. If you're Seabrook Travel Center and want anything changed or removed – one email.
