Members katsass Posted January 14, 2012 Author Members Report Posted January 14, 2012 Thanks to all for the kind words. Seems odd, but lately I have been getting more calls for western style stuff.

Members Shooter McGavin Posted January 14, 2012 Members Report Posted January 14, 2012 Care to share the dye and finish process? I really like the look it has. Quote Zlogonje Gunleathers
Members katsass Posted January 14, 2012 Author Members Report Posted January 14, 2012 Care to share the dye and finish process? I really like the look it has. Shooter, the color is Fiebing's 'Cordovan' Leather Dye, mixed 50/50 with denatured alcohol and (in a one oz spray bottle) four drops of Fiebing's Dark Brown Pro Oil dye. I use a real cheap Harbor Freight airbrush to apply. When dry, I shoot it with a light coat of neatsfoot oil from the same airbrush. 24 hours after the oil is applied, I use a 50/50 mix of 'Mop and Glo' and water and MIST on two coats with the airbrush, with about a 1/2 hour between coats. Finally, when dry I hand rub (no applicator or rag etc.) in a very light coat of Kiwi Neutral polish and buff with a soft rag.
