[kenthenoob]

[corter]

Ken... you should come to Self Edge this weekend and check out all the Flat Head leather stuff that we're putting out on Friday.. wallets, coin holders, braided chains, belts, and key hooks.

Here it was after original tanning and oil:

And brand new:

I haven't oiled since the initial oiling. Doesn't need it.

Also, it's bit darker in person. I tried to mess with the photo but gave up....

[rome1]

aging really nicely!

[RobZ]

Very interesting design on that one. A little much for me personally, but definitely not your run of the mill design.

[kenthenoob]

[edmond]

Chponglasia : sweet evolution!, how could you keep it away from indigo bleed?, though it has a very mild indogo migration there.

edmond: hopefully this time no over oli and over sun tan for Kamida-san wallet, promise?

[edmond]

yeah pda4live i wont over do it.. thanks hahaha

Chponglasia : sweet evolution!, how could you keep it away from indigo bleed?, though it has a very mild indogo migration there.

I think the key to avoiding excessive indigo bleeding is the initial tan and oiling. I see a lot of peopl on here undertanning, IMO, and they get loads of bleed. There's definitey some on mine, but not much.

[kenthenoob]

i kinda like the indigo bleeding.. gives it character.. kinda. lol

[edmond]

same here love the indigo stain ...

[kenthenoob]

oh yeah, i got the obenauf's the other day. rubbed it onto my wallet. that shit stanks.

am i to apply it after tanning or before? i tanned it yesterday for a while and it didn't exactly tan...

or maybe i just don't notice the darkening... oh well. i like the color it has right now anyway.

i'm pretty sure it can... doesn't it look like it can?

[robin_win]

i'm pretty sure it can... doesn't it look like it can?

i read the specification on red moon web, the height is only 2.5cm. so i'm not sure if it can hold all those things.:confused:
