Default Texturing punches

I'm looking for a good set of texturing punches in varying head shapes. Round is pretty easy to find, but square, triangle, teardrop, etc. are tougher. Anyone got a source?

Thanks,
Caltain

I make mine. File/grind a piece of metal; old bolt, nail, whatever to shape then file the pattern I want onto it. Fast, easy, cheap and you can have any shape you want.

I also use nails and make my own but you might find what you need at a leather working site,

You could also check out the Lee Valley catalogue, they have a set of four texturing stamps for about 28 bucks.

You can also look for tooling stamps , they are harden punches and will last a lifetime.
