2006年10月21日 · Place your leather into the oven and watch it carefully. "Baste" the leather with liquid wax at least once a minute. If necessary be sloppy, just never let the leather dry. When your leather is quite saturated with wax, remove it and start shaping. The sane way is to put on work gloves, hold the leather in your hands. and shape it.

2010年7月7日 · Hello. I read with interest your posts about "boiled Leather'. I have found some information about the subject and as a medieval reenactor of leather craft I undertook some experiments.
