Basic Leather Carving Instructions Part VII
Seeder Tool Usage

In leather working the seeder is used mainly in the center of scrolls and flowers.

24. The seeder is used primarily to create flower centers and to embellish scroll ends. They are available in a variety of sizes, and both smooth or textured.	25. A single seed impression is usually used in the center of the scroll ends.
26. Flower centers are made by first stamping seeder impressions around the perimeter of the center.	27. The seeder is then used to fill in the center.

The pattern used here is from the excellent tutorial book The Leatherworking Manual. I highly recommend this book.
