Members armysoup Posted September 24, 2011 Members Report Posted September 24, 2011 All of your work is amazing and top notch! Just one question, Is your natural looking color to all of your work with plain neatsfoot oil or neutral antique paste? I am new to leather working and do not know anybody who does it, I have been trying to get that natural look to my tooled work but just can't get the details to stand out. Any answer would be greatly appreciated. Quote
Members bustedlifter Posted September 24, 2011 Members Report Posted September 24, 2011 Outstanding!!! It's work such as yours that keeps me humble. Quote

Any answer would be greatly appreciated. When I oil I use EVOO and I use Fiebings antique paste. Seal the leather with Neatlac (Clear Lac) first, apply the antique, seal with NeatLac again. Hope this helps...... Bobby Quote
Members beans Posted September 25, 2011 Members Report Posted September 25, 2011 Great work Mr. Hidepounder,I was wondering do you spray or rub in the neatlac?Thank you for setting the bar so high on your leather work,gives me something to shoot for. Quote

Thanks Beans! On occasion I will spray NeatLac, but 99% of the time I apply it with a trimmed piece of wool skin. I like to work it in a little which reduces some of the gloss. Quote
