hidepounder Report post Posted November 26, 2011 First off, absolutely amazing work!!!! it really is beautiful Bob. Everybody on this site speaks so highly of you and i can see why. I hate to de-rail the thread but i went and looked at some of Eddie's work and i noticed that he dyes not only his background but even his tooled surfaces with a brush, and it makes it look awesome in my opinion so i figured id ask how it is he did it. Is he using severely diluted brown spirit dye, oil dye, water based? im still pretty new to leather so i apologize if its obvious haha. Thanks Morchesky412! You'll have to ask Eddie about how he dyes his leather. I couldn't find any photos to look at so I couldn't see what he does......sorry. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

hidepounder Report post Posted November 26, 2011 I'm following you now! His video's were interesting. I'm not sure what dye he was using. There are a couple of methods for dying the tooling with a brush, however the most common method of coloring is using an antique paste. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
