Steve,

As the others have said, your work is very nice. I was wondering if you could share the finishing technique you used on these projects? I like the color.

Thanks,

Jason

Jason;

the oiling/finishing technique I use for small items like this is as follows,

1 oil with 100% neatsfoot oil

2 rub in fiebing's antique finish paste, then rub off the excess paste with sheepskin

3 use neat-lac finish (I only use neat-lac on small personal type items, I do not use it on saddles or any horse gear. Neat-lac will seal the leather completely, any gear made to go on a horse will need to be oiled in the future, therefore neat-lac will not work on those items.)

for saddles and horse gear I use 100% neatsfoot oil as always, then when the oil is evened out I put on Tan-kote.
