Members Go2Tex Posted March 5, 2009 Members Report 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 Brent Tubre email: BCL@ziplinkmail.com

hidepounder Posted March 5, 2009 Report Posted March 5, 2009 I think you've done a very good job here. Everything is nice and clean. Stitching looks good also. Bob Quote
BobHall Posted March 5, 2009 Report 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
Members AgronZoti Posted March 6, 2009 Author Members Report 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
Members AgronZoti Posted March 6, 2009 Author Members Report Posted March 6, 2009 And i link to the dye i use... its called narvsværte in danish... i can also highly recomend the leather oil and fat they have there... http://www.laederiet.dk/Produkter/Visprodu...age=3&id=25 Quote
