Members dikman Posted May 26, 2016 Members Report Posted May 26, 2016 Nice. I made my last lot as natural, no staining just oil/wax. I think I like the walnut better, as it looks more natural than natural . Is it Feibings dye? Quote Machines wot I have - Singer 51W59; Singer 331K4; Seiko STH-8BLD; Pfaff 335; CB4500.

Members dikman Posted May 27, 2016 Members Report Posted May 27, 2016 Thanks for that, I'll probably have to ask them to get it in as I haven't seen it on the shelf.

Members LumpenDoodle2 Posted May 27, 2016 Author Members Report Posted May 27, 2016 I have the walnut dye on back order from Abbey England. Apparently, it's on its way on a slow boat from the US, and can't be had anywhere here, even for ready money. I was told on enquirely, that the arrival of this boat is affected by the weather, good weather, and it takes but a few weeks. Bad weather, and it will take months, as the boat sort of hangs about sheltering from the rain, or something. Hence image of European leatherworkers en masse praying for good weather over the Pond.
