rchjr.....


or what you can do is what i did. i slathered mine in Pecards leather dressing and set it out in the Summer sun for a day and this is how it turning out. i had to keep applying the Pecards every couple hours or so as it drys up quick in the sun. gave my new leather a nice natural russet sunkissed look!

Blacktail 8541,

I am almost afraid to ask this, who is Ron Brown? I dont think I have heard his name before?

Charlene 32,

What kind of sling was it before you used the " Pecards Leather Dressing "?. Where can I get some of it? Nice looking sling by the way.

Thank you both for replying.

Feibings leather dye. Any color you want.

I'd recommend going for quality first, then the color. Perhaps something from Les Tam, with a bit of leather dye to achieve the desired color...

Sir, take a look at John Weller slings. He makes one in Ox-Blood that is a pretty dark red. There are pics on his website. I have 2 of John's slings and couldn't be happier with his product. Very good quality slings. HTH

Sir, glad I could help. You will not be disapointed with a JHW sling. Every time I sling up in one, I wonder why I didn't start with his product. Also, a very honorable man to deal with. Enjoy!
