Members tatehunt Posted October 4, 2014 Members Report Posted October 4, 2014 (edited) A little something for myself made from leftover scrap. Vinegroon dyed, and hand stitched, a nice way to add new life to an old watch. Edited October 4, 2014 by tatehunt Quote

Members tatehunt Posted October 5, 2014 Author Members Report Posted October 5, 2014 Nice! Veg tanned? What oz? I was interested to see how vinegroon dye turned out. Yes, Hermann Oak Veg tan (6-7oz) lined with black pig. Vinegroon is a breeze, but not a fresh breeze... Takes awhile for the stink to wear out. After using the vinegroon, I dip the piece in baking soda and water, let everything dry, then add a little essential oil to the neetsfoot to help mitigate the odor. Oiling the piece helps to keep it from greying out when it gets dry. I like the fact that the dye soaks through, and beveling and trimming reveals black leather. The smell is the only drawback. Quote
