Hey Hammondh1992, did you get that off the bay (if so what was the suppliers name if you have it handy), I have been thinking of buying some and would like to know what the draw on them is like. I have heard that some of them have scar tissue, did yours have any blemishes?
A good lather is half the shave.

Thanked: 3215Looks very nice, I have used tea for dying fabrics for an antiqued look but not leather.
I also recently purchased a roo skin and am now thinking of dying it, how did you do it? How long did you soak and did you just brew some coffee or make it stronger soaking with wet grounds.
Love the color.

i used a whole bag of ground coffee and added a little bit of water put it on the stove for a little and made it into a paste then rubbed it into the leather really well then wrapped it in glad wrap and left it overnight
in the afternoon unwrapped it and wiped off the excess
it smelled really nice
the smell has faded a bit though
