Greetings from Canada.
Greetings folks. I am relatively new to knife making. and recently have been inspired to neo tribal metalsmithing. I reread an article in blade about Tai Goo and liked the style of work. I am currently hunting for fellow canuks who are into this syle and would also like to meet as many other folks in the procces.
This leads me to here. Please be patient if my questions sound amatuerish they are sincere. For now I am going to browse arround and hope to meet some of you folks soon. ROCK ON. |

NuViking, on those ones I just used leather dye. My website needs to be updated. My quality of knives has gone up since I last posted on their. Thanks for looking.

good morning twisty. I have used tea mixed up real strong in the past but it was more of a stain than a dye. I dont know why I never thought of leather dye. comes in many colors and is mixable. Did you use the oil based dye?
