nice thanks for the response didn't know if the finish would effect dying. did you strip it with alcohol or anything before dying?

I have found some light tan drum dyed leather for a great price. I can use the tan color but also need some black leather for a project. Does anyone know if you can dye already drum dyed leather?

Would love to see some finished products out of all this! We are trying to be better about showing our customers off! So if you want to share pictures of your SLC leather then I will see what I can do to get it shared over our social if you want and tag you in it.
I was really impressed on how well they looked for #3 as well. So, it just goes to show how loose the grading can be...especially on ostrich....the grading is pretty crazy when you research how they do it.
Do these legs burnish or do you just sand and add edge coat?

That looks awesome. love the two tone.

no its more matte

i sanded burnished and then applied some edge coat from tandy. i thing it was the eco flo brand.

That is a cool color though... what is it called?

its a grey caiman tail with denim blue buffalo interior from springfield leather

it is very tough. my friend was really loving the caiman tail so i made it. i also read that it can crack. i strategically placed the fold of the wallet on the gap between the scales. time will tell what will happen to it. i backed it with a piece of leather so hopefully that will reinforce it. real pain to sew tho. i was not happy with the stitching on the caiman side of the wallet. very rough looking from the bumpy surface the stitches lay across. he was happy and i guess that is all that matters.
