Members chriscraft Posted July 1, 2014 Members Report Posted July 1, 2014 (edited) Some of my recent work. This one is on a harness yoke I've been working designed for fly fishing. Has a stainless steel D-ring to attach the fishing net to your back while fishing. This piece was made for a guy out east in Pennsylvania. Edited July 1, 2014 by chriscraft Quote

Members chriscraft Posted July 4, 2014 Author Members Report Posted July 4, 2014 whats the dye used to get that colour? fiebings or angelus? I've only been using Fiebings products since I started last year. Pro oil dyes. I'd like to try the Angelus dyes. The acrylic paints are nice and I like the matte finish that I've been using. Quote
Members DavidL Posted July 4, 2014 Members Report Posted July 4, 2014 Angelus in my opinion have the best acrylics for leather. For the oil dyes angelus they are made for consumer use for leather shoes and are pre diluted vs Fiebings that is concentrated. What was the ratio you mixed the fiebings? Quote
Members chriscraft Posted July 4, 2014 Author Members Report Posted July 4, 2014 color- Maybe its just the angle of the picture capturing light off the Angelus Matte Acrylic Finisher. Dye color: after being dried I used Fiebings 100% neatsfoot oil and after 15 minutes dyed the piece. I mixed it as 80% Fiebings Pro Oil Saddle Tan with 20% (99%)alcohol let dry for 24 hrs before buffing and adding finisher This is the same fly fishing yoke harness to get a better look at the color of this piece. In the little time I've been doing leatherwork, have noticed that same dye pigment looks different on what you apply it on and how you apply it. Quote
Members Colt W Knight Posted July 7, 2014 Members Report Posted July 7, 2014 Really nice. I am ashamed of the carvings I posted after looking at some of the carvings on this site. Quote
Members Lowrider mike Posted August 25, 2014 Members Report Posted August 25, 2014 Looks great! Do you hand stitch your stuff? Quote
