I made this catch-all tray for a friend’s housewarming but I wasn’t happy with the natural vegtan color so I propped it up in a sunny window for three days. My needle holder from the same hide is there to show the contrast of how much the color changed and to remind everyone to wear sunscreen 😎
Does this process dry it out at all or cause it to stiffen?
I’m new to leatherworking and am considering trying this out with some adjustable straps for a costume piece I’m working on. This looks great and seems to speed up the natural look without dyes.
