I have a leather back quiver that I use pretty hard and it is looking at little rough. What's a good way to recondition the leather? I have used neets foot oil in the past.

Is neets foot oil the way to go? What is that stuff anyway?

Thanks

Try some Montana Pitch-Blend. This stuff works great on all kinds of leather. Besides, I hear that neets have been placed on the endangered species because it takes so many of the little neets feet to make a bottle of oil......

 

Second for the Montana Pitch Blend!
If I remember correctly, Neets foot oil is what is gotten after the feet of oxen have been boiled.

 Montana Pitch Blend

has worked great for me and it also gives them  a great smell

There used to be a product called Finnish Bear Grease. Do they still make it? It was good stuff, but I haven't seen it in a long time.

I like to buff my quiver & leather items. Cut out some 7" OD circles of leather from an old couch or chair & stack them until they are about 1" thick or more. Cut a center hole to slide over the mandrel & mount on your bench grinder. Now you have a perfect leather buffing wheel to apply wax or polish or whatever. Load it with buffing compound & hone BH's & knives.

You can also do similar with cardboard. Any cardboard. It's already slightly abrasive & will readily take compound. Good luck, b

Neets foot oil comes from the fats in cattle hooves.  It darkens leather some but is the best stuff there is for leather.  I have tried the stuff with "addatives" included and the only difference is the price.  I don't like it for suede products though.

John... give that quiver a good cleaning with saddle soap first. Lather it up, wipe it off, let it dry. Then apply just about any conditioner... I really like Lexol, but any mink oil type product will work as well.

call tandy leather, they are most helpful and sell just about everything when it comes to leather and leather goods
