Wallick Electric × Leatherius Woodman – a leather stamping study

From the Practice Log – an ongoing series of stamping studies on real-world marks.

An August study.

For Wallick Electric.

The public record gives the name in plain directory type, so that is where we begin – Wallick Electric, pressed exactly as found.

Then the proposal. The divider between the two words is a knife switch, drawn closed – in the trade, the whole verdict fits in that one gesture: contact made, circuit complete. The state license record runs back to 1989, and the mark says so.

On the luggage tags the mark travels in the trade's own color code – deep green for the grounding conductor, warm caramel for the copper it protects. The black tag is the hot leg, and it alone carries the gold.

The companion design is one complete series circuit with the switch drawn closed and the lamp drawn lit. Any electrician reads it in a second: it works.

Keys end the day the way a switch ends a circuit, so the loop rides on the fobs. Caramel takes a blind press; the black fob carries the circuit in gold.

The dopp kit stacks warm caramel over dark espresso, copper over its own insulation. The circuit sits small in the lower corner, where good work signs itself quietly.

A catchall tray in golden tan for the end of the shift, when the pockets empty and everything lands in one place – the closed circuit pressed at its center, day complete.

For the journals we borrowed the circuit directory that lives inside every panel door, printed at the moment before anyone labels the breakers – eight numbered lines, still blank.

A journal is the same object, a year of circuits waiting for their labels. Pale warm greige like the card taped inside the panel door, and deep green for the grounding conductor.

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.
