Ambassador pete Posted July 27, 2012 Ambassador Report Posted July 27, 2012 IF.... you insist on "CHEEK/FACE" checking the moisture content of your leather prior to tooling, BE SURE that you wipe your face COMPLETELY after consuming a D.Q. chili dog.!!!! THis is crucial to a good finished product. Caveat- If you happen to have a rare bottle of Feibings "BBQ" dye then carry on- your good to go. )(*#)(*&%^_#_)(*%#@$ pete Quote
Members HellfireJack Posted July 27, 2012 Members Report Posted July 27, 2012 HA! I've done that myself!! Except it was just regular BBQ not a hot dog. Quote
Contributing Member TwinOaks Posted July 27, 2012 Contributing Member Report Posted July 27, 2012 Pete, the only solution I see to marking the leather that way is to make sure you have enough chili on your cheek to repeat the pattern....then you can call it CUSTOM leather.

Bless Fiebings for saving many (Black) projects over the years. Was the chili dog good?? Ken Quote "Life's too short to carry ugly leather"
