I've managed to get hold of a few square meters of 2.5mm veg tanned leather and fancy making a pair of moccasins. Only thing being, it seems a bit too hard for this. Is there any way of softening it a bit?
What is neatsfoot oil and where do i get some?
Also, has anybody made moccasins before?
Cheers, i'll have a look
Neatsfoot oil is a premium leather treatment and is often sold at rip-off prices in leather-goods shops, if you can find yourself an agricultural suppliers, the price will be a bit easier to cope with.
Leon 1 is reknowned for his moccasins, he did a write up not-so-long ago. There might even be a tutorial in the articles section.
