Members Mitchell Posted August 8, 2013 Members Report Posted August 8, 2013 I'm very new to leather working and purchased a bridle shoulder for some leather collars. It seemed to be rather dry and hard so I lightly applied a few coats of Neatsfoot Oil and let dry for 24 hours in between coats. The leather seemed fine after this and manage to cut myself a few nice looking straps from the shoulder. However, after punching my holes I am left with horrible looking crease marks on the reverse. Even when I slightly fold the leather it starts to crease... is this normal? Is my leather bad? or maybe my hole punches? (purchased very cheaply from ebay) Thanks for any help Quote
Members WScott Posted August 9, 2013 Members Report Posted August 9, 2013 I'd like to see the back side....I am thinking it is a "bonded leather" which is just really fancy plastic and the nice face surface is separating from the back I have never had leather do that after conditioning it, but maybe someone has???
