brianfromoregon Report post Posted December 2, 2012 This saddleback leather bible cover is marketed with this line: "The top layer has the toughest and tightest fibers of the leather (grain) and the pores that take in your oils when touched. That's why full grain ages so nicely." Does that mean they do not put on a waterproof finish like acrylic resolene? Otherwise how would oils get through? http://www.saddlebackleather.com/Bible-Cover Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
DoubleC Report post Posted December 2, 2012 Some people just oil the leather and don't put a finish on like resolene. I'm going to try and make a couple of leashes for a friend's lab puppies and I'm going to put neatsfoot on them in case the pups chew them. Even with resolene it will absorb some things, I know I can have a piece of leather I used an alcohol stain on that will be stiff as a board, and put bag balm on it and work the leather and it relaxes and absorbs the bag balm over night.

particle Report post Posted December 3, 2012 I believe they use oil tanned leather for all their products and they don't apply sealers - just some type of leather care product they promote and sell. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
