Wrinkles!! >:(

Hello world!!

Why did these wrinkles come out? Too much dye or too resolene, or not treat the leather before dyeing?

Leather is cow vegetable.

Cheers!!

It's called Orange Peel if ladies of a certain age get it on there thigh's in the UK

Sorry I cant really help your question

The leather part is the neck, I think that shoulder for English dialog

Looks like it was folded/bent tight towards the flesh side.  That stretches the grain side, and when released, wrinkles the grain side.

Looks like you're going to need some Oil of Olay....

Yep, some parts of the hide are looser than others and this happens.  Not much can be done about it.  You'll learn to recognize it in the future.  It's usually softer than the rest of the hide, and when you edge it, all kinds of odd things happen.

or Botox

Actually; a risky thing to try but you could try pouring very hot water over it. Give it a good soaking in near boiling water for a few minutes then dry rapidly. The leather will contract, but it'll also harden a bit so you'll need to put some neetsfoot oil or leather conditioner on it right after

So, is it because the skin is rolled up with the good part out side?
I'll stretch it all flat and cover it to avoid dirt, but not before without rolled it some days with the good part inwards. I know that is being part of the neck of the cow is more prone to wrinkling.

I'll probe hot water.

Thanks to all!
