don't wanna paint it black!

but think I still prefer the "el natural amundo" look over the stained or dyed look. Some black dye for accent or background and leather glow for highlighting then letting it age naturally is probably the way I'll go. Unless the customer throws a wrench in the works and wants it all black.

I like the work but I do have my own 2 cents worth on the dyeing. As it darkens, it may be more difficult to see the foreground items against a background of the same color.

I've always enjoyed RatFink, btw.
