As always, I’m happy to share details if anyone is interested so feel free to ask!
You’re doing great work! Thanks for sharing all of it. Did you dye the leather yourself or is that leather conditioner that needs to soak to even out?
I need to think of a new item that I need to create.
Thank you for your kind words.
I used fiebings pro dye, and to apply it I just cut a kitchen sponge into bits and dipped them into the dye. Then I applied in circular motion, and damped again with dye on the areas that I wanted darker.
Also I nourished the leather with neastfoot oil prior to dyeing, I find that is helps getting a smoother, more homogeneous result.
I suggest giving it a try on some scraps before giving it a go on a nice project. You can also use isopropil alcohol to dilute the dye it you want a lighter shade.
