I am returning to a childhood love, leathercraft. I started when I was 11 or 12 and made lots of beautiful items. I have forgotten many things and am so happy for this forum, I learn so much that I never learned before or just plain forgot. I just made a wallet for my husband. I am about to antique it after having dyed the areas I wanted to and then sealed it, but never knew to oil my leather previous to sealing. Sure wish I had read this first. I can't wait to try the oil and see the difference on my next project.
