Members wadeh Posted January 28, 2009 Members Report Posted January 28, 2009 I have been trying to read about making some of my own dye for leather. The only thing I make are knife sheaths. I have read some stuff about using walnuts, just putting them in some water and boil them down. Some writings mention about putting a setting agent in with the mixture, but I am not sure what that would be or how much of it you need. I also read somewhere about even using pecan hulls to make a dye. Anybody have much experience with doing this or is just not worth the time to do. Not really meaning to save money but meaning that they do not work very well or do not last like the stuff you buy. Any help or guidance would be greatly appreciated. Thanks. Quote
