I visited one of your stores today. Nashville TN, great staff and selection. Our generation needs a craftsman’s renaissance, everything you find is made in China.
waw waw waw fantastica . Can you please tel me what type of leather did you use for this and what is the thickness of the leather ? Thanks alot for your advice .
I see that he applied the antique with Sheep's wool. I have been told to apply the antique with a damp sponge. I have even been told to put a coat of super sheen on before you antique, then antique, followed by another coat of finish. Can anyone answer or help with this.?? New to leather crafting. So any suggestion South Dakota are appreciated.
Thank you for a great video! Always enjoy it! Could you please let me know if I can apply super shene on top of antique finish to seal it - I'm always concern that it will stain the hands once you start using the item (ex. belt or wallet)
Does anyone know if I'm using the gel antique with a combination of alcohol based stains which would be better to use first: there is just some blending not total overlap of all antiqued surfaces.
Hi Tandy, thanks for all the videos, they're excellent. I'm new to leather crafting and wanted to ask a question. If I use Eco Flo antique medium brown on my project, do I need to use a top finish afterwards? Thanks!
I don’t see much difference in all three. Can you guys help me choose which is suitable for my needs? I don’t see much difference between all in one and antique gel...
We'll have to double check with George, but it looks to regular veg tanned leather. Factors that can affect the way leather takes color is how thick it is applied, how well and evenly the stain is worked in to the leather, what finish you use, how much the leather has darkened from age, and a number of other variables. We always recommend testing the stain on scrap samples from their project to make sure they get the color they are looking for before applying to the finished project.
Tandy Leather Fantastic, thanks so much! I've been watching all your other videos and think I have a good understanding of the application process. I'll be heading my local Tandy Leather here in LA soon to get stocked up!
Sounds great! We frequently post projects in our Guest Gallery on Facebook, so send them on over to social@tandyleather.com when you have something you'd like to share. We also keep our Instagram pretty up to date. There's actually a picture of George from earlier this morning!
Tandy leather I LOVE YOU...but you guys should FEATURE some women who are master carvers and toolers too. Women are very very good at leather work too and make great tutorials. Thanks, i know you guys listen and a lot of women are into this craft too and are just as good as men.

How about letting them work with what they have and quit getting offended at the drop of a hat? George Hurst is the best HUMAN BEING at what he does, regardless of gender. My local Tandy's manager is a lovely lady that is probably one of the best leather workers in Tulsa. I ask her questions all the time and she provides much better advice than most (maybe all) of the males in Tulsa. Because she the best HUMAN BEING they have in Tulsa. Gender doesn't matter. It's who they have that're willing and able. Quit your PC garbage and enjoy your free content.
What a useless video....what the point of showing three different brands if you are not explaining the difference.....also...all three stains have to be the same colour so the difference between all three brands can be compared.

After you apply the stains do you need to add any protective coating on top or is the finished piece as is? (I'm very new to leather working)
thank you for taking some time to make the videos thank oyu very much !
The best way to learn
Thanks very much Tandy Leather

after watching this, i think im going to move away from the eco-flo gel and use the hi-lite. i think it just looks better. Great video again.
Does anyone know if you can put a top coat (I mostly use super sheen from tandy) with the antique gel or hi-lite dye? All my dyes I use is from tandy.
Would've been nice to see the buffing and result. Otherwise, another great video!
Did you apply any resist before applying these antiques?
No. You don’t need resist with eco flo
Does anyone know if I'm using the gel antique with a combination of alcohol based stains which would be better to use first: there is just some blending not total overlap of all antiqued surfaces.
Hallo , wan machst du Öl ins Leder ? Danke

+Gottlieb Goltz Always a pleasure!
What color was this?
I am making a Tandy Checkbook Kit. How do I create the fold in the middle? The leather has become quite stiff from the wetness during tooling.
Wet the area your folding on the suede side. .. iv also seen people cut a shallow line into the lead to help get a perfect straight fold
Cut a shallow line into the leather ****
Where I can find this product?
Last one you used in this video 🧐
This is a Tandy product
The best company
Nice Sohw i like it realy. Good expert knowlage
Seems odd that holes for stitches were punched before color applied...Seems col should be done first, before punches and certainly before stitches.
In the first example with the antiquing gel, was the leather treated with anything (oils, seals, stains, etc) prior to the antiquing?

+Ella Marie We agree! There are some phenomenal female leather artists out there and we'd love to have the opportunity to feature some of them.
