Members humperdingle Posted February 11, 2013 Members Report Posted February 11, 2013 Will I ever get tired of the smell? Pretty much every time I start a new piece, I have a sniff of the leather... It's like the smell of frying bacon or onions - Irresistible I have a cupboard in the house, with a louvre, slotted front, where I store my leather. Every time you pass, there's a whiff of leather. Nice. Quote
Members benlilly1 Posted February 11, 2013 Members Report Posted February 11, 2013 I like the smell of leather too...I doubt if you'll ever get tired of the smell! Quote
electrathon Posted February 11, 2013 Report Posted February 11, 2013 I also really like the smell. I have often wondered what it is that creates the smell. When the process is started it is a rather icky smell, then it somehow transforms to what we like. Aaron Quote
Contributing Member Ferg Posted February 11, 2013 Contributing Member Report Posted February 11, 2013 Mine is stored in a closed closet. That heavenly smell just lingers in there until you open the door, then you really get hooked. LOL ferg Quote
Members Jax Posted February 11, 2013 Members Report Posted February 11, 2013 I dont think you can get tired of the smell of leather but when you get used to it you dont always notice it anymore Quote

Members WScott Posted February 14, 2013 Members Report Posted February 14, 2013 Yep, I am in the same boat a leather smell lover for sure! I just smelled my leather coffee cup wrap I made when I did the dishes tonight. Do that all the time. I don't think I would work with leather if it was stinky. Same with woodworking....maple, cedar, cocobolo all smell gorgeous when you cut them. Quote
Chief31794 Posted February 14, 2013 Report Posted February 14, 2013 I have no particular like or dislike of the smell of leather, however, I have noticed that ladies like the smell of leather, so I have been trying to develop a Leather Cologne. Nothing else I do these days seems to help!!! Seriously, when I'm at craft shows that is the most heard remark, people will pick up a piece and sniff it and say, "I just love the smell of leather".

Members Gamekeeper Posted February 14, 2013 Members Report Posted February 14, 2013 I get a similar thing from customers/browsers. They come along, pick up a pouch, open it & have a sniff the put it back down! Maybe I should charge for the usage.
