Brands

[Frodo]

I bought a side gyom Springfield that is a veg tan split

I found a huge brand on it and decided to make the brand part of the project

here is my project    First image is the front panel 

next is the back panel and then flap

what I am wondering is the best method to highlight the brand  when I apply my stain

I will be using an antique saddle tan

should I first paint the brand with a resist

I like it Frodo.

If this was my project I would use the resist on the brands.

I wouldn't resist them because there are no real outlines to follow I think the brand will dye differently than the rest and be just as noticeable.

  I agree

The eyes have it

[Frodo]

Well then,   That is the way I will go

thanks for the input guys

My thought would be since it is a split is that it would take the antique like the background of something that has back grounding done when tooled meaning it will turn black over the whole thing instead of tan even with a resist on it.
