  1. Hi Ed, Thank you very much for your answer. I'll try your technic next time. To summarize: Toolling -> Oil -> Dry -> Dye ->Dry -> Resist ->Dry -> Antique -> To get back to my second attempt (see above), I found out that the pear shading, beveler did not keep the antique compared to your realization for exemple, Any idea why?

  5. All, I managed to get antique and resist (fiebings antique tan + fiebings lac kote), I wanted to share my first result and check couple of points with you: - This was my first attempt and I realize that the antique dry very fast and it is not good to apply it in the sun, I ended up with antique stain when I tried to remove the excess + I used damp sponge to remove the excess but used too much water and more stain appears... - Second attempt, I apply resit on half of the project and used antique on it Actually , I am a bit disapointed with the result, I was expecting the antique will penetrate more in the resist part. Is it due to the tan being a light color ? Should I expect the same result with darker color ? - I am wondering how I can get the following result for the dyeing part, do they apply dye, then resist then antique ? Or antique, then resist then antique again? Any advice is welcoming ;-)
  6. Ok, I lately tried the antique paste from fiebings, but i did not get this result :-(, it was the first time. Sorry to bother but just another quick one. My beveling does not get darker, it looks like the leather does not absobe the dye because the beveling compress the leather, I was wondering if I should use the beveler with background effect (I don't know the proper name ;-)
