🔥 Sample Leather Aged by Vault Rites
The leather sample shown was aged using authentic techniques from the Vault Codex of Distressing Rites—a 47-rite master manual for real-world leather aging. Available here:
www.etsy.com/ca/listing/1895090649/leather-aging-techniques-pdf-the-vault

Rites used:

Rite II – Steel-Wool Whispering

Rite XI – The Flame’s Kiss

Rite XXVII – Distress Ink Blessing

These rites don’t just age your work—they awaken it.
Your piece will feel like it survived the fire—and chose to return.

🔧 Material & Recommended Use
Each stamp is crafted from high-density plastic for clean, consistent impressions and long-term durability.

⚙️ Best used with pressure-based tools:
• Clicker press
• Arbor press
• Drill press (manual pressure only)
• Bench vise (with caution and flat pressure plates)

These methods provide even pressure without striking, which helps preserve both the stamp and your leather surface.

🐂 Recommended for use on cased vegetable-tanned leather placed on a firm backing like HDPE, granite, or cutting board.

I’ve also developed a proprietary technique specifically designed for use with these stamps.
