Back quiver
« on: October 27, 2010, 07:20:00 PM »
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.

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.
