W&c English Bridle Edge Dye Recommendation

[treq10]

Hello,

I've been leaving my edges undyed on straps made with W&C English Bridle leather, but I'm realizing it's too unrefined.

What do you use to dye the edges of darker W&C English Bridle leather? I'm worried that the factory dyed section of the leather (both grain and flesh sides) won't take the edge dye and I'll be left with very uneven looking edges.

I am mainly concerned with dark brown and black leather. I want to dye the edges black.

My workflow would be:

Bevel, sand, dye, burnish, seal.

Thank you for your help!

-Dave

I am interested in the answer(s) you receive as I picked up some W&C English Bridle leather from a company that went out of business about six years ago. My first experience with this particular kind of leather.
