Great leather working build.  Should be very helpful to beginners and the experienced alike.  So did you use some kind of aerosol leather dye?

I used Feibings USMC black on this one.  It's a alcohol based dye.  I do tend to use a airbrush to color.  Makes the dye go much further.  Thanks on the notebook.  I have to carry that around to jot ideas.  Sale a lot of the notebook covers too.

Makes it easier to feather in the color on the edges also.  You can get a cool antique look using black over brown that way.  Probably would work for a bow also.  Especially if you backed with silk.

 I'm just trying to get a nice fade from one end of an arrow to the other. Never thought of an air brush. Thanks ;D ;D Now, where did I put my airbrush.
