in the bag

Recommended Posts

Well as you can see from the pics my sewing is geting some better and with the stiff center this time made a better bag. Just harder to sew. The patter was taken off a old saddle of mine so thay match. In the morning im heading to get some conchose to to put the handles on then will be done. I was just wonder what the saddle guys put on saddles to keep them kinda light. The last one I just used saddle oil on and look ok but not great shine with that . Here is some pics and Ill put up more when I have the handles on it

Russell,

I oil mine up with my dye/NF oil mix. I use Leathersheen for a finish. I have tried others, and at the end of a year, the Leathersheen bags and can covers have held up the best. I put on a decent coat, let it get almost dry and add another. If I want a more subtle finish, while it is still fairly dampish, I'll take and old bathtowel scrap and buff it, rub pretty firmly. If I want a glossier finish, I wait until it is dry to touch and then buff it, with the the same sort of towel.

We might be through there again in a few weeks. I am flying back to Indiana and getting a truck from my folks and driving it back here. We are going to be leaving my uncle's in Windom MN the 22nd and headed to Cody WY to catch a dance on the 24th on the way back. Time frame depends on when we get away and if it isn't the middle of the night, I'll give you a call.
