Members Teslabolt Posted December 25, 2018 Members Report Posted December 25, 2018 Making a journal and wondering if this cracking on the backside will be okay so far as longevity goes. I did skive down the middle on the inside to help with the fold. 8/9oz bridle leather from RockyMountainLeatherSupply Thoughts? Quote Sewing Machines: Consew 206RB-1
Members PutnamLeather Posted December 25, 2018 Members Report Posted December 25, 2018 It might just be to dry. Maybe try some neetsfoot oil? Quote
Members YinTx Posted December 25, 2018 Members Report Posted December 25, 2018 Wow, really Sedgwicks? I have some, and have bent it over backwards again and again and again, and twisted it this way and that, pulled it as hard as I can, etc. and abused it trying to get it to fail, looks just fine after I did all that to it. Can't imagine it cracking! It's already pretty well full of oils and waxes.

Members spurdude101 Posted January 1, 2019 Members Report Posted January 1, 2019 Pre dyed, I don't know. if you used an alcohol based dye then it is the dye drying out the leather. use lots of neetsfoot oil first and maybe even some water to loosen up leather before you bend. as for now all you can do is use some oil and try to conceal the damage.
