That's really cool,Luke! I still want to read the book on the Booze Fighters, I believe the name is "The Original Wild Ones". I read a snippet somewhere where a member said they were more about bar fights and speeding tickets than anything else.

MABEY THEY USE TO BE..dont tell them i said it" just a bunch of ole Bikers that

ride Harleys, drink beer and keep their noses clean."

several in the Club keep me busy..

That's a really cool piece. Next time you do one, try using extra virgin olive oil instead of any kind of dye. With a few light coats, you'll end up with about the same color with no smudges. If you want it darker, apply the oil and set it in the sun for a while. That may be difficult this time of year depending on where you live, but the more coats and the more sun, the darker it will get. Kind of a fool proof way to get a rich brown.

I tried oiling my yaks, but they get too slippery.

Oh My! Wouldn't that have a fabulous odor! It might be cheaper.

[Luke Hatley]

yaklady, thank you.... yes after it was done, i was not happy.

i do have another one and i have ordered Wickett & Craig chestnut color leather.

small pcs of work & dark color one can get away with flub ups.

But large pcs are trouble.

I have never tried W&C's colored leather. Let me know how it works. Yes, small pieces are much easier than the big ones, and that one was real big! The extra virgin olive oil has never failed me, even on big pieces. Well, maybe it wasn't too great on cheap leather. I stay away form that stuff now.
