Northmount Posted April 11, 2013 Report Posted April 11, 2013 Pretty nice. I like the 2 tone. Lots of stitching there, hard for me to tell if it was machine or hand. In either case, really nice job. Tom Quote

None of the above TK, its natural veg tan, although, it may be the light shining on it that gives it the brightness Just gorgeous...

Members bissetdesign Posted April 13, 2013 Author Members Report Posted April 13, 2013 great job...i have a bag like that in my future... Thanks TK, I had fun making it, kinda different from my usual stuff but enjoyed it none the less. Back to your comment about it being white/bleached, it's going to get darker very soon though when I apply a finish/conditioner? Anyone have any suggestions for natural veg tan? I currently have on the shelf - neatsfoot, snow proof & all the usual fiebings finishers, I know its going to go sligtly darker but hopefully not too dark. Is there any point in applying a 50/50 acrylic res/water to it if its not dyed? Would it still give a nice finished to undyed veg tan? It is beautiful, love the colors Great work!

Members bissetdesign Posted April 24, 2013 Author Members Report Posted April 24, 2013 Bump.....anybody help with the finish? Just a quickie answer will do, thanks in advance Quote Paul My website - Bisset Design Join us on Facebook
Northmount Posted April 24, 2013 Report Posted April 24, 2013 Extra virgin olive oil (EVOO) doesn't darken leather as much as neatsfoot oil. As you already likely know, oil conditions, isn't really a finish. Lacquers work. I kind of like waxes since it can be reapplied and buffed easily. Kind of feeds the leather to help keep it supple.
