Just rendered down about 2 lbs of deer fat. Got about 12 oz of tallow. Im gonna mix it with beeswax and test it out. Is there anything else i should add? Maybe 100 % neatsfoot oil or lard?
I've seen lots of recipes for finishing leather using tallow as an ingredient. All of the postings use rendered beef fat for the tallow. Would rendered deer fat work as well. Much easier to obtain where I am.
I actually just made one of these holsters. I used the Eco Flo Cova Color paint Royal Blue. I've attached a photo so you can see how you like it.
just noticed you were looking for thread not paints. sorry bout that
