Members ntex2000 Posted February 25, 2009 Members Report Posted February 25, 2009 I stumbled across the following website that has published a 1916 encyclopedia of recipes, formulas and processes for such things as dyeing leather and coloring metal, etc. The recipe's for creating leather dye appear to be pretty old. They call for ingredients such as extract of fustic, extract of hypernic and extract of logwood. If anyone is able to come up with these ingredients and actual create the dye and use it, I'm sure there are many of us on this forum who would be interested in learning about your results. Here's the web site: http://chestofbooks.com/reference/Henley-s...ng-Leather.html. Good luck. Quote
Members ChuckBurrows Posted February 25, 2009 Members Report Posted February 25, 2009 Thanks for the link and all three of those ingredients are avalable from natural dye resources such as www.aurorasilk.com - they come from South/Central American trees...... Quote
gtwister09 Posted February 25, 2009 Report Posted February 25, 2009 Google Books also has some great resources for old recipes, formulas, etc... Regards, Ben Quote
