tossik Report post Posted October 14, 2014 Herman Oak veg tan works great for me. Nice and smooth finish. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Dwight Report post Posted October 14, 2014 Vegetable tanned leather is what you will want if you want to dye it, stamp it, decorate it, etc. Blanks can be purchased through Tandy Leather, or almost any of the other suppliers. Go to a Tandy store and pick it out yourself. A belt is a good project for a "first one" and the folks there can get you started out at least mostly correct. I personally use Feibings pro oil dye and Resolene for a finish on all my belts. Both are cut 50/50, . . . dye with thinner, Resolene with water. May God bless, Dwight Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
