King's X Posted January 17, 2009 Report Posted January 17, 2009 Take a look at this picture and someone tell me if it look familiar? I found it on the internet from a Japanese website, but unfortunately I don't speaka Japanese to read what it says. Appreciate it. Greetings from Round Rock, Texas {Remember to Stop & Strop!} Quote

Also sometimes you can use translaters too a extent/ I saved the pictures for later project design ideas. When I went back, I couldn't find the link or site. I remember something usual in the title bar (top left corner), question marks. Normally, you would see the name of the site or something similiar, but not here. Oh well, I thought with all of the masters here, someone would be able to chime it. I appreciate your response. Greetings from Round Rock, Texas ~Remember to Stop & Strop~ Quote

Members Nocturne Posted January 18, 2009 Members Report Posted January 18, 2009 Are you looking for a way to get that darkened effect in all the tooling while leaving the rest of the leather almost natural? Take some neatsfoot oil and add a bit of Eco Flo medium brown (or dark brown, depending how you'd like it to look) Gel Antique. Sorry I don't have exact measurements on this one, it's more a trial and error til you get the shade you like. Shake it up well, and apply in circular motions with some wool scrap. Buff it in with a clean piece of wool, let the oil soak in and you'll get a very similar finish. Of course, try it on some scrap projects to see how you like it. Hope that works for you. Quote

I new that it would something as simple as you mentioned it. I think these picture depict the beauty of natural leather with the contrast of the tooling part. My .02 cents. Thanks for the help, I will it a shot and report back. Greetings from Round Rock, Texas ~Remember: Stop & Strop!~ Quote
