I see what you mean about that antique. I think it would have looked better if I had buffed it a little more to get rid of some of the "puddle residue" but then why antique in the first place? So I understand but what would you suggest using for dye? Just regular fiebings dyes? Would that look good on tooled leather? I used fiebings antique paste on this because the paste always produces an even color while other dyes tend to look messy unless I use an airbrush. Well, that's the thing, aint it. Your answer is the same as my answer --- daubers, brushes, and/or airbrush. You could use a stain (some of them are quite good) but likely wouldn't get that shade. Area that size, I would have used the airbrush myself. Still, over all that still looks good. Quote "Observation is 9/10 of the law." IF what you do is something that ANYBODY can do, then don't be surprised when ANYBODY does.
