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.

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.
