philarryous Report post Posted March 1, 2013 Hi, I have made a few dog collars for small to med dogs, I use vegetable tan leather , do you have access to a tandy leather store.they are on line also, you can mail order. sign up and there are online videos explaining tools and use plus the leathercraft library had videos that show you how things are done, i use the proffessional dyes and sealer, hope this helps , if you need more info ask and i will try my best to help....http://www.tandyleatherfactory.ca/en-cad/55512-02.aspx?tcd=13-B25TEM , here is a web address for a flyer that has all the links at the top, hope it helps. were you wanting to paint or draw with the ink?.cheers.

the gafer Report post Posted March 18, 2013 I use pree dyed bridle shoulder for my collars then when its all put together I put grangers g wax on it so there isn,t much finishing to do other than burnishing the edge of the leather then wax those simple as that you can use un dyed veg tan but why bother to dye the leather when you can buy it all done with all the finishing mainly done Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
