      I'll keep this running for a few months, and leave the samples outside to brave the elements.

      I have nailed four offcuts of natural leather from our leather belts to a plank.

      1. No preservative
      2. Mustang Paste
      3. Obenaufs Heavy Duty LP
      4. Obenaufs Leather Oil

            Great idea, I'm always intrigued by the different effects of different preservers. Should be interesting.

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