Tree Reaper Posted February 16, 2014 Report Posted February 16, 2014 It could be antique paste applied, let sit for less than a minute and then wiped off. Quote
Members papaw Posted February 16, 2014 Members Report Posted February 16, 2014 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.

Members Cogs Posted February 16, 2014 Members Report Posted February 16, 2014 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... http://springfieldleather.com/321/Videos%253A-Helpful-Hints/ There are many ways to stain leather and it's always good to know as many ways as you can.

Contributing Member JLSleather Posted February 16, 2014 Contributing Member Report Posted February 16, 2014 Search bar. Block dyeing. Man, this must be gaining popularity (or perhaps just 'speedy' "etsy" style stuff). Quote "Observation is 9/10 of the law." IF what you do is something that ANYBODY can do, then don't be surprised when ANYBODY does.
Members RiverCity Posted February 16, 2014 Members Report Posted February 16, 2014 Really bad block dye job. Chuck Quote
Contributing Member Ferg Posted February 17, 2014 Contributing Member Report Posted February 17, 2014 Apply the dye heavier than usual, wipe with a paper towel wadded up. ferg Quote
Members Leprechaunleather Posted February 17, 2014 Author Members Report Posted February 17, 2014 would that not darken the whole piece ferg ? Quote https://www.etsy.com/ca/people/leprechaunleather1freedom is a right not a privilege
Contributing Member Ferg Posted February 17, 2014 Contributing Member Report Posted February 17, 2014 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. ferg Quote
