After it thoroughly dries, I use Fiebing's Leather Balm with Atom Wax and buff up to a shine, however Kiwi would also work.

I actually finished this one with paste car wax. I've carried it quite a bit for several years now, and it's seemed to have held up as well as those finished with acrylic.

Alright, after several attempts, I think I got it. I went and bought a thing of Fiebing's Leather Balm with Atom Wax Saturday. After reading where a few people said it pulls the dye up, I was worried that I'd have orange tinted thread. This was just a sample piece where one side is just dyed, and the other I applied the Atom Wax with a foam brush. I "patted" it on vice rubbing it in. Then buffed with sheep's wool. I think I'll try airbrushing it on for large pieces.

The dye is the Tandy Professional Tan.
