You get credit for trying new things, even if they're not perfect. They looked good to me. And let's boost the algorithm while we're at it.

I'm very new to leatherwork myself but I've been told to use oil based dyes and to wipe off the leather with a clean cloth. Then wet the leather (not saturated), allow to dry back to it's original color then dye. I guess I'll find out soon enough. Would be great to see you do more leathercraft. Always fun to watch your videos.

Looks like the sponge worked pretty well. Thanks for sharing your test. I am looking forward to seeing what you make with the leather.

Thanx for putting a smile on my face! You are awesome!

There are two Tandy Leather stores in the Twin Cities. I would guess they could help you out.
