Leather work is a useful craft. I have started to learn after moving yo where no decent care products are available and making my own balm for my work boots. My old favorite pair got so dry I poked a finger through the toe area. Sad. Made a mixture of cocoa butter, almond oil , and beeswax. Tried it on a belt from red wing I have had for 3o + years, so far I like it. Initially it darkened a lot, after sitting for awhile it has returned to closer to its original color.
Ever think of starting a leatherwork sub?

Sub created, just invited you to be a moderator of it. Just a good place to share techniques and projects,
