Spur Leathers Finish Suggestions

[dfrensdorff]

Hello All.......Just finished up stamping these spur leathers yesterday, and would like some finish suggestions. Premium Veg tanned from The Hide House. I have several sets of these finished before with (1)Tan-Kote/Antique/Tan-Kote, and (2) Neatsfoot Oil/ Sno Seal. I am looking for suggestions for something else....I like the natural, "saddle" look, so shoot me full of holes with what has been successful for you....Thanks for any and all advise.........Don

I know this is old but wanted to add a couple comments. I like the natural look too but IMO nothing brings out tooling or stamping like antique. If you want to just leave them saddle tan I'd use Neatsfoot oil or Fiebings saddle oil and then resoline or equivalent on top. In my experience Fibings Saddle oil doesn't darken leather as much as Neatsfoot oil so if you want to leave as natural as possible try it.

I've also used a couple good coats of Wyo Sheen and then antique finish to try and save as much as the natural color on the high spots as possible.
