jman Report post Posted September 5, 2009 I purchased Herman oak chesnut skirting from Weavers. well after building a carved saddle with it, at all the places where there is any kind of friction , under stirrups leaters and on the fenders the epidermis just rubbed off in Two rides. Why ? Anyone experienced this before? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
RWB Report post Posted September 5, 2009 Post a picture. I use HO and would be interested in what it looks like. I can see that happening on the riggings were you stirrup leathers rub, but on the fender were your leg would ride seems odd. Ross Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
HighDesert Report post Posted September 6, 2009 I have used both the chestnut and chocolated drum dyed from Hermann Oak on some gun/Cartridge belts and other projects and haven't noticed any rubbing off tendencies. I haven't used either one on a saddle yet, but I would be very interested in what you determine. Also, the most recent chestnut that I got from Hermann Oak, was much lighter that the previous sides. Has anyone elso noticed this difference? Thanks, Allan Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
