Furthermore, it leaves no oily residue, softens dry hard leather and water proofs.

I've been using it for several tears now, and even like it for furniture.

And it's formulate to melt at 98.6. Rub the LP in by hand.

Good Stuff!

I went to the website and looked at the information. What I always have trouble figuring out without buying something is how untreated vegetable tanned leather will react to a product. Would anyone who uses this stuff be willing to share how it reacts on carved leather, can you dye it first, can you oil through the finish? Is this mainly used for chrome tanned items, like jackets and furniture? Leatherimages, any pictures of stuff you use this on?

Sorry, don't have any pictures of that, well that's not true. I do have a recent order of two pair of veg/chrome retan work boots I used it on, attached.

Have not used it on new tooled leather, but I have used it on tooled belts that come in for shortening and such.

It may darken it a little, but it's really more like it refreshes rather than "darkens", like you'd get from neatsfoot oil.

For new tooled veg I usually use the Bee Natural Saddle oil, but I wouldn't hesitate to use the Obenauf's oil any time. I usually dye after tooling, let it dry and then oil.

The Leather Preservative (LP) has 4 times the beeswax and propilis as the Oil. I'd use the LP for water resistance and Oil for softening and conditioning.
