leathercraft

Hi all,

I’m doing some wet forming projects using 3oz ish natural veg tan. Works well and I’m happy. I form by hand and work the leather quite a bit to get the shape I want. As I do this is as I’m closing up the pores of the leather.

When it’s dry and I go to dye the leather it’s as if the parts I worked by hand, don’t absorb the dye as well as the parts I did not work. Is there a trick somewhere to get a more consistent dye job on these projects?

Thanks!
