[Leprechaunleather]

Hey people .

any one know how i get this effect on leather ? what kind of dye is used ? or what technique is used to apply it ?

[Tree Reaper]

It could be antique paste applied, let sit for less than a minute and then wiped off.

If I understand you want darker areas, If so I've did this with neatsfoot by putting more oil in a area and darken the leather, and then dyeing it.

Hi Leprechaun,

Here's another way to achieve that. Kevin, at Springfield Leather, demonstrates this in one of his Helpful Hints videos called Staining Leather...

There are many ways to stain leather and it's always good to know as many ways as you can.

Search bar. Block dyeing. Man, this must be gaining popularity (or perhaps just 'speedy' "etsy" style stuff).

Really bad block dye job.

Apply the dye heavier than usual, wipe with a paper towel wadded up.

would that not darken the whole piece ferg ?

[Ferg]

The paper towel lifts the dye kinda "Wonkie". A little practice on a piece of scrap. Keep changing the portion of paper towel you wipe with.
