I have some extra leather I need to store for maybe a year. I was thinking I might apply neatsfoot oil, let it dry for a couple of days, and then put the pieces in a cardboard box. Would this work?

It would, if the leather needs nfo. I store my leather in large plastic boxes mostly, never applied nfo, never needed to

Don't forget @Fredk lives in the Emerald Isle, and it's green because they have plenty of water in the air. In Arizona, that might be an entirely different matter.

i live in Wyoming drier than he## here i just keep mine in the box it came in, I have some still 15 years old or better. Wouldn't NFO ruin it for tooling later on?

You're more likely to suffer mildew or wet rot!
