    Paprhangr, I used Montana Pitch on this one.

    Haven't posted anything for a while. Resisted and dyed a dark brown.

    My take on the video is: Minimalistic wallets are nice if you only want to carry a few cards and no cash. Most are too small and don't make it easy to put cash in. I wouldn't want to carry a card holder AND a money clip. It seems to be defeating the purpose of less to handle. A bi-fold makes more sense.

    Why do you need it that thick? Do you have a purpose?

    Looks GREAT!

    Huh, wonder if that's a new bottle?

    All my Fiebing's says 'dye' not stain. Even my Fiebing's Walnut says dye. The term stain usually is for wood. I've probably said stain in the past meaning dye but unless Fiebing's has changed the names it should be dye for leather and stain for wood. (if you use wood stain for leather- it goes on very even if it's oil base.)

    I agree Tree Reaper! It's getting out of hand. Adding foil could be the answer.I live in the area that Bob Segall reports his investigations. He has uncovered lots of jaw dropping info in the state of Indiana. I'm always intrigued his reporting.

    The stone oiled leather comes dyed. You can't dye it yourself. Stamping doesn't hold so not a good idea.

    Great suggestion, Knothead!

    Beautiful, Hunio!

    Electrathon is right...it's the way you hold it. Just like with a potato peeler. If it's pivoted just right it works. I know that veg-tan is easier and chrome leather is stretchy. Not so easy.

    Watch how the dents are taken out of this couch.

    I know some furniture makers use a heat gun to get rid of wrinkles. Just be careful to keep the gun moving and not too close.

    Love the wallet design...are you at all concerned of the tabs wearing out being 2-3 oz.? I've not used skirting leather or those type of button studs.

    No, I don't put acrylic over any dye.

    I can't see where the extra leather folds are going to go pushing it through the form? You're going to have extra bulk to deal with. Do you know how this tube is going to be used?

    NICE work Chief!

    I don't use anything oily or apply any conditioners before applying acrylics. I apply the paint directly to the dry leather.
