Members jdowney Posted March 29, 2014 Members Report Posted March 29, 2014 That is pretty cool, I hadn't realized you could use it for leather too (silly me :D ) I use this on maple to get a nice amber color without muddying up the grain with pigment stains. I follow the dip in ferric acetate (or vinegaroon :D ) with a dip in lye and then linseed oil. Kinda off topic I know, but I'm struck by how some of these long time recipes have such varied uses! I suppose it is really the same use - the iron reacts with tannin in each case, no? Neat! Quote
