AndyL1 Report post Posted May 8, 2012 Hey All, I got a couple of bags done over the last couple of weeks. The brown one was a commission and the mahogany one is currently for sale. I started to make two at a time if I get a commission as it's a bit easier since all my tools will be out anyway. ;-) Anyway, custom made to fit a 13" Macbook Air, 5/6oz veg tan, dyed, oiled, sealed with Resolene. Now off to ship this one out! Cheers, Andy Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

And to answer your question, yes just antiquing after dyeing. I leave the antique on just a bit longer until it sets up some and gently rub away with a moistened white rag. Sometimes I'll use a moistened sponge loaded with just a bit of black dye and pat the color on and build it up. Thanks for the compliments!
