Anyone else have any tips? Or did this whole hide just go to waste? :T

Ill give their customer service a try and see what they say. I will also call tandy and see if they think the deglazer will work.. Thanks Art Anyone else got any tips, tricks? miracles to get me out of this?!?!

Hey Guys, One of my nephews wanted to help me work on some leather so I told him he could coat the hide with some Leather Balm w/ atom wax by applying with a cloth. He decided to squirt it all over with a spray bottle and wipe down which doesn't seem to be working to well. It looks like its not drying up. How can I remove this or get it back to its overall uniform color? Thank you

Thank you BillyB and TwinOaks, Super informative!

Billb, Thank you for the reply! I see that its either natural or a roller press that will give the leather texture. Why is it that almost all veg tan natural hides I see are always smooth and never with texture? Do they sell a roller press for the hobbiest? I notice there are tools but they are tiny?..

Hello LWers, Im new here and would love to get into the art of crafting. I notice many of the people here are using veg tan leather which is beautiful in its own but why do I see a lot of leathers look like the type attached below. From what I read are they veg tan that has been tooled with the wrinkled type texture? or is it a process at the tannery that does this? It is the photo that has the smooth leather and textured leather next to each other. Sorry told you it was a noob question, Second question is what type of edging is on the wallet? Is that raw or burnished? Thanks!! Hope to learn a lot here!
