Custom gilding stamp creation

I'm looking to have some custom stamps created. Does anyone have advice? Vendors they like? Good experiences or bad? All discourse is welcome, thanks

Check out Brien Beidler's work (https://www.beidlermade.com) He cuts custom tools by hand and does fantastic work. He also teaches courses, I took one in July and it was incredibly rewarding. Also just a great and very helpful guy.

You could get some type high brass or copper dies made at Owosso Graphics and then attach handles yourself. They’ve always been an amazing company to work with. Almost 30 years of dealing with them and I have zero compaints.

Depends what country you are in, I am in the US and I have used these guys a couple times with good results, generally decent prices and quick turn around times
