Every once in a while, someone brings up the idea of using wood products on leather.

I think the consensus is that they can work, but that they are not optimized for leather. You could use leather dye to stain wood, but the results may not be as good as they would be with wood stain.

I specifically remember someone saying that floor stain does not have UV blockers but leather stain does, to prevent fading. 

Anyway, use what you want, it worked... at least temporarily! :)

I really appreciate your spirit of experimentation.

One thing I did learn,  That to me, Is a valuable tidbit.

It will make the fibers  lay down,  and you can get a shine

I have used waterborne poly on edges occasionally, but most wood finish products are not real flexible and tend to crack on leather as it flexes.
