  1. tooling for a bike bag
  2. Thanks again, Terry. When I dye before antiquing it usually comes out too dark and does not look like the examples in the book. Dilution?
  3. I like to experiment with different finishing techniques. Overall, I seem switch back and forth between these two: 1. "Tandy" style. Resist and stain using Highlighter stains. 2. "Sheridan" style. Oil, Neat Lac, Antique, and Tan Kote (O.N.A.T.). One particular finish that I don't think I have ever achieved is the one in the image below. It is from the fantastic book by Bob Likewise, "Sheridan Style Carving". The finishing process is detailed in the book (O.N.A.T.). Does anyone know what antique finish color and manufacturer is used to create the beautiful reddish finish in the the example pictures? I can come close with the "Tandy" method using Saddle Tan Highlighter, but I don't think Bill Gardner used that method. Thanks, KR
  4. Thanks. Nice job. I often am dissatisfied with the bulk in my own wallets as I add more and more pockets. There is a lot to be said for simple and sleek.
  5. Back in 2003 or so I used to use a product called Neat-Lac. It was a reliable resist and I liked the way it aged the leather. Now, after recently getting back into leatherwork, I discover it is gone. I am not satisfied with Super Shene or Satin Sheen to do this job. Does anyone know of a good replacement for Neat-Lac? Thanks.
