Go2Tex Report post Posted March 5, 2009 Really nice work, there. Had to chuckle, though. Reminds me of that episode of Seinfeld when George had his wallet so full of receipts it was too big to carry in his pocket. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

BobHall Report post Posted March 5, 2009 Great job! I love the fit and finish. Would you share with us the colors and finish you used? Bob Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
AgronZoti Report post Posted March 6, 2009 Thanks all for the kind words... "Great job! I love the fit and finish. Would you share with us the colors and finish you used? Bob" Sure. I use dye from a company called R.O.C. the dye used for this one is called yellow brow. The strap didnt get atique so on it you can se the base color. Befor i use atique i rubed it with leather fat left it over night to dry. I do this becouse i feal the antique gets much nicer then using it after painting. Then i rubed off the ecces antique with a damp cloth. After im done i use fat again polish and thats it... i dont like to use anything els... i like the leather to look as natural as posible. I do use a Nano spray for items that get exposed to the elements like bags and such... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
