Members Kulafarmer Posted December 19, 2015 Members Report Posted December 19, 2015 How do you get the color of raw leather to show through a finish? IE A strap with a stamped pattern, like a rope or border and letters, where the outlines show up the natural color and everything else is an antique or a dye,,,, Paint a resist into it carefully? Or? Im sure its simple or not, but cant find this info, most likely searching the wrong terms Merry Christmas Quote

Members Colt W Knight Posted December 20, 2015 Members Report Posted December 20, 2015 That's beautiful. I have never gotten good result putting black dye on that lightly. I have hand tremors, so anything that requires finesse like that is out of my league. Quote
