Contributing Member TwinOaks Posted April 1, 2019 Contributing Member Report Posted April 1, 2019 (edited) Re: Stiffened leather I think there's at least a good chance that the leather was not stiffened as part of the construction, but rather as a result of it. Somewhere on here is a conversation I had with a guy who was experimenting with different oils. In it he noted that some oils will harden over a long period, through oxidation. They didn't exactly form a shell, like shellac, but there was a notable difference in the surface textures. Any waxes that were added should also be considered. I'm including a link to a vid that shows an alternate construction method for certain box types.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=29RE0HXPM4U Edited April 1, 2019 by TwinOaks missing link Quote Mike DeLoach Esse Quam Videri (Be rather than Seem) "Don't learn the tricks of the trade.....Learn the trade."
