Thank you very much guys! All suggestions and advices were useful and I now have an idea what to do with this paste. Thank you! -
Thank you Chief! I bought neutral as I thought it would give my carving some light shading, but apparently there is really no pigment in it at all.. So I wonder what is the purpose of this antique?..

Probably you are right David, could be a thinner.. Then why they did not name "thinner".. just to confuse people. Thank you!

Thank you!

What a beauty these things are.. all three! Great work! -
Hi there, I am wondering if somebody could enlighten me on this subject. I bought Fiebings Antique Paste in NEUTRAL and can not figure out what is the purpose of this thing. It does not give any color, not even light tone or shade, it looks just like some finish. And do I need to put actual finish on top of this? So what do you guys use this neutral antique for? Thank you! Era

Thank you! Hard to say what leather.. It is from old stock and I do not remember what it was. I THINK it is 5-6oz -
Thank you very much guys! Obviously I did not do much research around here.Thank you for the directions!

You guys living in America are so lucky! There is no Springfield in the UK or other great suppliers you mentioned on these pages.. Even if they are great to work with the postage charges are too high, plus there will be duty taxe added at the customs. For example, three bottles of antique stain cost $63.00 while the postage on them is $70.00. And then plus the duty tax.. Even if I do not want to, I will have to come back to Tandy's.. :-(

Absolutely great work! -
Oh, this one is just beautiful! Just has this feel of a market bag.. Milk bottles, some cheese, greens.. :-) -

That's quite a beauty! -
Thank you very much Undeadzombiehunter! It is very nice to hear compliments especially that this is my very first briefcase, and I did not have any patterns or instructions. All by myself -
Thank you Adam! I tried this dye and found that if I apply it to "raw" edges it will bleed, but if I trim them clean and burnish and polish first using saddle soap (following Bob Park's method) then the dye can be applied evenly and it will not bleed. It will still soak through the polished layer into leather but the dyed edge line stays clean. But then again, you just said your leather is different.. Thank you! I really like your bag!
