rmr Report post Posted December 24, 2009 I have just finished a shotgun case made from Latigo leather. I have placed neatsfoot oil on it to help soften it a little. Im not sure what I should use to finish latigo-This is the first time I have used it. I dont want a high gloss look, and would rather it look rustic. Any recommendations or comments would be appreciated Thanks RMR Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Art Report post Posted December 24, 2009 Not quite getting where you are going, most latigo has a lot of oil in it. The neatsfoot is fine and maybe Pecard's or Montana Pitchblend, let it dry overnight and buff. Art I have just finished a shotgun case made from Latigo leather.

rmr Report post Posted December 26, 2009 ThanKs for the reply. When I have used veg tanned leather and dyed it with an oil based dye-I have usually put a top coat on ( maybe I dont need to- but that is what someone told me to do). So I wasnt sure what I should put - if anything- on Latigo. Should I gust leave as is and after the neatffot oil dries- just buff and Im Done???

Art Report post Posted December 26, 2009 Pretty much, if you need more protection, again Pecard's or Montana Pitchblend paste. Art ThanKs for the reply.
