Nice job, Bob! 

I like American Leather Direct as well.  Their saddle skirting has a softer temp then Hermann Oak and it tools really well.  Turns a nice golden russet color when oiled.

Hello Tommo,

I oiled the leather using Neatsfoot oil (and yes Kelperts, it did get a really nice color from it) and then I applied Wyosheen (formerly from Sheridan Leather Outfitters but now distributed by Barry King) as a resist.  I then antiqued it with Tandy Eco-Flo Tan.

thanks, Bob
