Ahaaaaa, now this one is made in gud 'ol USA !!! -
Ahhhhhhh, nice...this thing is NOT made in China!!!! -

wet leather, cheap wet leather and dull knife on wet leather......makes a huge difference to wait till all is original color, just as you knew is most important when tooling....let it dry a bit more and use sharp strobed knife.....and you will be on your way!! Guess how I know that.....hahahaaa... gud luck Jimbob

more orders for shotbags....what are these people do with em??
-
Lots of stuff Jim. Great for hammering metal into shape, it keeps out the hammer dings mostly and helps support the shape. Also shot bags are great weights for holding down large pieces of leather to help keep from curling:) There are also many other uses but that is what I can type the fastest.

leather has been oil tanned or hot waxed, could be 50/50 veg tan chrome tan...dye is clearly resisted from leather....try other veg tan leather and you will see a difference!! (airbrushing has same effect, but since you have tried to brush it on....I am sure its the leather!) James

Airbrush finish...easy to apply...but eventually will rubb off. Dye can't penetrate, so it just sits on top of grain...but shure looks cool!! Aloha James
