Floral carving has been around for centuries. The differences are in how things are laid out, to some extent size, and a number of other factors. Some of it is individual style, some artists combine styles making it all the harder to pigeonhole things. So why pigeonhole them at all! Just as with paintings, styles and such can be hard to distinguish to the untrained eye but eventually it all starts to make sense.
The different styles were/are developed by the different artists just like painting, then as they become popular their style gets copied. A lot of it is the business side too on the more modern styles at least and probably why you thought it started in the 40s, Stohlman for example started about that time and as he got better he started to produce tools and books and made it a business which promoted his style further. It makes it troublesome to some degree as the tools we can buy were created to do a certain style well but we as artists/humans also want to develop our own style as we get better so we either have to make do, learn to use them differently or develop tools we need ourselves. At least that's my take on it.
Leather carving IMO is influenced by centuries old traditional methods, folk art/ untrained leather workers embellishing personal items, professional artists/people making a living at it and every thing in between.
Thanks for the replies. That clears things up a bit. I think I'm beginning to see the subtle differences between the dominant styles. Just looking at Jim Linnell's course page where the different styles are shown side by side makes it easy to see the differences. I used to go to LA for business and whenever I had a few hours of spare time I would visit the Gene Autry Museum of Western Art to look at the leather work up close. It seems significantly different from contemporary styles. It seems like floral carving came from Mexico like so much of cowboy culture. The cuts and beveling aren't as deep as today. I have some pieces that were carved by a great uncle in Oregon about 80 years ago, and they are not cut deep and hardly beveled at all.
This video continues from parts 1 and 2. It concentrates on the fine details of this style of carving. Includes use of the seeder, veiner, mulesfoot, background, hair blade and the swivel knife for decorative cuts.
