PastorBob Report post Posted June 4, 2021 very nice. I have never tried using olive oil. I have used neatsfoot. I have heard of using it. Did you apply it to the inside as well? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

JayEhl Report post Posted June 11, 2021 Wow, very nice. Very clean and great stitching. I used the olive oil with a light brown dye (for the back grounding) and another brown antique (can't remember which) on a few my projects and they also came out great. I learned that watching a youtube from Don Gonzales. His work is amazing! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
WyattEarp Report post Posted June 12, 2021 Thank you for your kind comments. JayEhl, I will try your mixture (olive oil and dye). Thanks for the tip Jesse Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
