          yep and will be really interesting to see how the elements will change the leather over the time…

                  Good point MM, although Gosport is not famous for its Beavers (beavers yes), we do have a significant population of Foxes…...

                                        I wonder what kind of oil is in Obenauf's… I don't think it's neatsfoot, though neatsfoot oil does tend to darken leather quite a bit

                                          I think that part of the reason that the Ober Oil sample is so dark is that it is very fluid, so it soaks in big time….
