Patina Process

The finish applied to the black horsebutt by RDT has slowly revealed interesting details hidden in the leather, from the brown base color in areas of wear, to the texture, grain and a bug’s bite. I feel lucky. Beak-in took time as expected for a thick horsebutt, but it has moulded nicely.
