Thanks for the comment on the dye/stain work, I have a method I use and like, as for soft I do use a conditioner (Feibings Aussie) on both sides of the leather and it makes my straps and slings feel very soft/flexible and actually makes them look better as well. I put it on a little heavy, heat it with an industrial heat gun set on a fairly low setting until it liquifies and then remove the excess with a soft cloth and buff with a sheep skin pad. This is a recent change for me, I'd always used Neetsfoot Oil but after trying this beeswax/oils/conditioner product I've just about stopped using Neetsfoot. Another benefit of this product is that it makes the leather perspiration/weather resistant (Musicians sweat a lot an hunters are out in the snow and rain). Oh well, off the soap box.

Members Bigfoote Posted November 20, 2015 Members Report Posted November 20, 2015 Wow these look great so clean, and I really like the finish as well. Guess I'm going to have to try one. Quote
