Black Walnut Stain

[HollerBornCustoms]

Hey folks, got a question. Has anyone tried using black walnuts for staining leather? I've used it before on wood, but the leather thing just hit me today. I've got a few trees in the yard, so I figure I'll give it a try later on next month or so when they start falling.

I think someone mentioned this before in the forum, but can't remember what the results were. I always love a good experiment.
