I am going through my first attempt at making a sheath, I have the basic tools and some leather which had been in my workshop and has dried out considerably. I have cut out the leather from my pattern but when I fold the leather it feels like it could split, in fact it has slighty it needs somekind of nourishment. The question is do I use neats foot oil to make it more supple, is there anything else I can use? I have quite a bit of this leather and I would love to bring it back to life again.
There are some skilled leather makers on here I wondered if you could help.
