Description

Repoussé means to repel or push back in French; the craftsmen that did repoussé work were called embossers.

There are two methods of embossing: one is cushion, the other is support. The support method is sometimes called stake repoussé.

The value of this Stake Repoussé book is to give the blacksmith and other metalworkers a foundation to do Detail and Definition work, specifically Ornamental metal.
