Thank you All for the compliments.
Josh, my process is... I dyed the back ground with dark brown, oil with Bee Natural #1 Saddle Oil, then NeatLac. I used a Sheridan Brown antique then final coat of TanKote. The edges, I sanded with a drum sander then applied chocolate brown then NeatLac, then I burnished the edges with a wooden round jig that I made to chuck-up in the drill press.
I like the Bee Natural oil cause it doesn't darken the leather like neatsfoot or olive oils.
Happy tooling
Tim
