This is the first one started for a whittler.
The leather has been dyed with vinegaroon - a chemical reaction between the tanins in the leather and wire wool dissolved in vinegar. I like using vinegaroon as it's so easy to get an even finish and the dye will never wear off.
Did this work for you? I am trying to use vinegaroon on a sheath with a wooden liner so i won't be able to add the dye after it is formed and then neutralize it with the baking soda and water soak.
ReplyDeleteI assume you dyed this then sewed and completed the sheath?
Did you have any issues with it?
Thanks!
Yep, it worked with no problems. In this case I dyed and then sewed but I have done it the opposite way as well.
