chainftw Report post Posted June 24, 2011 Well I have tryed using the New Tandy european Bends . Very clean and beautiful ....but . I don't know what the problem is . It seems to me the leather is rolled so it's so smooth . And I don't know but It seems the fiber is so compressed it cuts and tools not that great . I was wondering if any of you have had this problem . Also When I dyed the one piece Using a Air brush , An Antique and a dauber with oil dye it had these spots in it that almost ruined the seat . I stopped getting the leather from them , just thought it looked so good I'd try it . Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ferg Report post Posted June 25, 2011 Have not done a lot with the two hides I bought. Tooling was a piece of cake, as in tooled like butter. What I have is beautiful and absolutely void of any defects. I will definitely buy more. ferg Well I have tryed using the New Tandy european Bends . Very clean and beautiful ....but .

Scary Leatherworks Report post Posted June 27, 2011 I bought some when they were on sale and found them to be quite nice I thought they tooled nicely also. I have noticed that when I airbrushed the dye on there were a couple of small spots that didn't dye well but I figured I should have used a cleaner/degreaser first.
