I used the gel type, and it doesn't dry it out. it seems to enrich the color also

To tell the truth I'm not sure what it is. I got it from work when it was in the trash. I used it for a lot of things. I have some I use for cutting boards, and hammer and tooling stamps. I have some stamps I've made that are 5/16 around and I can pound on them all day long and nothing hurts it. When I use it as a cutting board it's so hard that some times I could swear it dulls my knife. I used my maul to pound and Osbourn 1/8 thonging chisel thru three layers of what had been 13 oz veg tanned leather that I skived down to 8 to 6 oz and it didn't even skuff it.

I already did one that way. I thought that there has to be a better way than that. I'll have to keep looking....Hey Thanks a lot.

Tandy has some free patterns on there web-site

anybody know where to find the parts to make the handle and the two ends. I'm not looking for the leather washers,I'm looking for the other parts. I'm looking to fix one for myself. I would like to know the right way to do it. I put one togeather so I would have something to use. Its not pretty but it works. I'd like to hear what anyone else is doing. Thank You

I love your mauls I don't think I've seen any better. I have a question. Where do you get your handle and end pcs?. I'm not asking about the leather washers but the interior and the ends. I have a maul that I've made but I would like to have a handle I don't have to worry about. Thanks

I have a question about lifters. I would like to know what the tool looks like, who make the best ones, and how they're used.

[] I found that you can even out thge stain by using purell. I use it right after I stain. it has worked out well for me its a little cheaper than having to get every thing you need to air brush

I know of a good book that I have used for years. It's called the "Craft Manual of the North American Indian Footwear" its by George M. White. It's a treasure I've used it for years. You should check it out.
