Leaving Veg-Tan Raw?

Recommended Posts

I have to carry an id badge for work, and the clips and snaps my job provided kept breaking. I ended up losing the badge, and when the new one came in, I used a scrap piece of veg tan to make a loop. No dye, conditioner, treatment, not even beveled edges. Well, several years later, I noticed that little scrap has taken on the most amazing rich brown color. It just looks great. It got me thinking, has anyone ever made products that use the regular veg tan, and let it age "naturally?"

I frequently make items with just neatsfoot oil or Olive oil and suntan to get a darker then natural color no other dyes used.

I leave lots of my smaller stuff natural apart from neatsfoot and Resolene.

Just made a small pouch and it almost looks bleached it's so light in colour!

I like the natural, gradual change in colour ;)
