Cool!! Thanks for that!!! So I have been doing some research and it seems Cedar Oil is good for wood and leather. The main use is not as I thought though. You are for sure correct about thinning it out. It is said that there is a mixture for anti fungal that uses cedar oil. Formulation The basic formulation is: 200 g anhydrous lanolin 30 ml cedar oil (acts as a fungicide) 15 g beeswax (optional) 330 ml X-4 solvent or hexane (solvent) The first three ingredients are mixed warm, then added to the cold solvent and allowed to cool while constantly stirring.[3] Care should be exercised, as hexane is highly flammable. That is what the British Museum uses on all leather in house. Anti fungal and fluid injector. The cedar oil fuses with the lanolin very well. There was another one I found that was like 1 part cedar oil to 5 parts neatsfoot oil. Also used as a anti fungal... So I guess that is why the price is so high depending where you live to get this oil. Here it is 36€ a pint. Not a quart like I thought. So use it in items tht will be in severe weather to help not bust into mold I guess would be the mail application. There seems to be a lot of other uses for the oil and has been used as a cheap embalming fluid as well:) but also great for wood and home anti mold spray. So there we go I guess... Well worth the investment! I think I will be using this on all the seats I make from now on. Thanks for your photo Horn! It is MUCH APPRECIATED!

Does anyone use Cedar Oil here? It is pretty expensive at 36€ a quart so I am looking for some examples that people have used it on raw veg tan...I can't seem to find any examples.

Put a pic in the leatherwork conversation section.

Well as a general rule after doing some research it seems that cedar oil is thinned down with neatsfoot oil and wax to make a anti fungal oil:) so says the British museum:) so I guess a little bit goes a long way and that's why the high price.
-
I got lots of cedar trees here........come squeeze all the oil out ya want!!!

It is exactly the same length as my HD JACKET. Seeing as it is twice as thick as my leather jacket and I have owned and fixed that for the last 18 years I think it will last a lifetime:)

This is my first Biker vest. I made the template and just started cutting. I made this one from 6-7 oz veg tan and a lamb skin liner. The front clips are detachable key rings. I just added a simple border tooling because this vest is getting MC Club patches. I am now going to start another vests for myself that is heavily carved and tooled. Yes it is going to take forever to break in but this guy will wear this vest everyday for years and years to come so I expect it may not take so long. While it was wet I rolled and rolled it to break the grain and heaviness so it had flexibility. I oiled it about 4 times and waxed it up.

Hey David. This is one of 3 standard designs I use for straps. This one is a Merle Haggard style model.

That is not the snap I am talking about. It is a sailing snap.

Have you tried West Marine? I was picturing what prc77ro was, so I don't know what to look for.

Wow very cool! I have been wanting to do a case. Did you use any mdf or birch backing? Looks like the top is all leather no wood?
