Light grey stain

Recommended Posts

I need a light gray stain for veg tanned. I’m making a Damascus skinner and want to match the steel look  in the leather sheath   
 I think vinigroon would work but I don’t want it black   
what ya got

Ditto on the Campbell Randall as the source. Actually I believe they have a grey color made by the same company Fenice. It is by far the best water based dye I have used. They also sell a reducer that is made specifically for the Fenice line of products.

I took black and reduced it to grey for a carving I did with airborne wings. Not sure if this helps or not

I’m going to try the Campbell- Randall to see. The blade is almost  done and it’s definitely gray after the acid dip.

Another idea, mix a little black dye into some white leather paint, just experiment with it until you get the colour you want.
