We made some leather coasters, they are about as tough as anything that you have ever seen... they look pretty darn good... Go here to order Leather 4" Coasters - King Keepsakes
I added leather....

Sold! I'm your biggest fan. 
Theses are going home with me for the house. The acrylic are at the office.
Cap, you may want to check your logo from King, I don't think it's stored as a secure image (i.e. https) My browser seems to keep blocking them as unsecure content.

What a great problem to have..
They look nice...perhaps some leather keychains one day too? Just tossing out ideas...
Yes please.
Just a Kanji in leather...that would be sweet.

Would think that the engraving would be easier for you to produce? Either would be sweet though....
there is no doubt that a solid piece that has been lazed would be longer lasting... the leather is pretty tough but over time the shape of a kanji would weaken and ultimately break off... I have been making some key rings for another customer... super simple but ultimately the most durable design ever... Using the same material as the coasters I would just do one side.. I will make one and post it up in a few minutes...

I have a rubber keychain that looks like the one in the above link. I would love to see that cut-out style in leather. (minus the cut-outs in the middle of the kanji of course.)

the problem is that to do a tru kanji "trace" you have 3 seperate pieces to the artwork, the dot at the top, the top and the t at the bottom, I can make the basic shape but it would not be accurate...

I like that one Cap, but can you toggle the "Hayabusa" to run horizontal under the right side of the Kanji rather than vertical? What's the shipped cost of the keychain leather?
They're doing quite nicely. I have it front and center on my desk. I'm very pleased. Thanks Cap!
I wish I had a pic of the keychain I have...but it's at home right now. It looks very similar to this.

It's a single piece, just cut out closely. Does your machine to the cutting, or do you have to use another method? I figured it it was CNC, it wouldn't be too difficult, but if you had to cut them out with a die, that wouldn't be fun.
