Hi, for lack of any other options here in NZ I bought a couple of hides and then had a large aluminum plate made up via cnc which was just thousands of 1/4" posts sticking up from the plate and then mounted the plate to an old edwardian leather press. A few hundred tonnes force and 120 degrees C heat and the pattern is pressed in.
Check this out;

Also more pictures of the finished car. The embossing turned out a bit random but I have kind of gotten used to that now and it contrubutes to the uniqueness of the car.
