Try rubbing with a soft cloth in a corner. Friction will sometimes "erase" the pull up. Or use a hair dryer. It is the heat that does it. But try in an out of the way spot. If it works then you do it on your project AFTER you are done, because you will create more of that as you work it. And that is why I don't use any pull up leathers for my projects. I do not find the effect attractive at all. YMMV

Sadly, oil tan/chrome tan is not the best choice for either of your endeavors.

I would think just fold the prongs down, much the same as the tube in regular snaps. Maybe "start" them with a small screw driver, but finish with the same hand setter as normal.

Knife sheaths, holsters, any number of items that require good stout leather.

For quite some time to come I fear.

For the record, Black is the absolute worst for bleeding forever and a day. It seems to do it no matter what finish is put on it.

Try denatured alcohol in an inconspicuous spot. It will remove SOME finishes.

Having worn moccasins most of my life, there is nothing that will do what you want. Wet feet are just part of wearing moccasins. Anything you put on the bottom will be gone in a day at best.

You would also have continual "bleed" at any and all couplings. In very little time you would have little or no pressure in the line.

In "How to Make Belts" Stohlman shows measuring AROUND the contours of an old belt to get the size. I would say #2

The purpose of the unwaxed thread was to work the TAPER into the end of the thread, he said to wax it after that. It isn't impossible to taper the end of waxed thread, but it is difficult and can be frustrating. As for synthetic threads, I do not put plastic into my leather projects, only linen or hemp. YMMV

I use a spokeshave to skive the buckle end of belts.

Sadly, the "leather smell" fades with time, just like "new car" smell. As for the smell of what you put on the leather, they too will fade, some just takes longer. There is nothing I know of to preserve the "smell" you are trying to capture. Even SKUNK fades away with time.

Yes, looks like mildew. Try oxalic acid in an inconspicuous area. It WILL remove mildew stains but it may well remove the color as well.

Already a place for that. Suppliers - Leatherworker.net

It is very strong stuff, but for exposed stitching, it is ugly as sin.

I love that about my M1a. I can shoot all day and the brass is in that nice neat pile. Very nice riser.

My framing square and a drywall square.

Quite often.

Very nice. I haven't seen Quick Draw in ages.

Thank you. I will be ordering one soon.

My mistake, I thought you wanted to duplicate the leather. The design is incised, probably with a knife, or scratched in. Then the die/stain is applied. Much like scrimshaw.

Personally, I doubt you will be happy with this knife, I may be wrong. But based on the picture it isn't sharpened to do what a head/round knife does.
