A simple little give away
« on: December 03, 2009, 02:15:00 PM »
Well, in the spirit of Tradgang generosity and Christmas, I'd like to do a simple little give away.  

I make my own leather dressing jokingly called "Bulla-Bulla Boot Butter" when I have to call it something.  It is a home made blend of beeswax, deer tallow and a couple other ingredients.  Lightly pine scented in a rather blatant attempt to copy Montanna Pitch Blend.

The end result is something a lot like Mink Oil but with just a hint of pine scent.  I don't use scent oils, rather I just steep it with some pieces of Christmas tree clippings like tea to take on some of the scent.  This batch has some douglas fir and balsam fir scent.

I have two small tupperware tubs about 4"X4" and about 2" deep and will draw two winners on this coming Tuesday, December 7th.

FYI, I've been making it for a couple years and have given away some tubs of it at MOJAM in the past.  People seem to like it but maybe they are just being polite....  I don't claim it to be some new super leather water proofing though it does help as well as anything else I've used.  Where it seems to really shine is rejuvenating dry leather or softening leather that has been used hard and put away wet.  I've uses it on my leather boots, work gloves, quivers, the kids football, old deer antlers, chapped hands and all sorts of places.

Let me know if you are interested.
Dave


I've come to believe that the keys to shooting well for me are good form, trusting the bow to do all the work, and having the confidence in the bow and myself to remain motionless and relaxed at release until the arrow hits the mark.

Dave,

I have some MT Pitch and this harder stuff Australian Boot Dressing (?) which I like better. The Mink Oil seems to soften stuff to the point where it looses shape of it's original design...and stretches.

Sounds like your concoction would be good w/out the mink oil. Rendered deer fat, eh? I've heard of using bear fat... and groundhog... apparently, rendered ground hog fat smells just like Vitamin E. Mentioning that to some biologist and he commented that since woodchucks eat and fatten on lush greens, their fat would be chuck (pun intended) full of Vit E.  ;)

Neat idea to mix up your own. I won't cut in on the contest since I have the other 2 tins...but wanted to applaud your creativity and generosity.
The words "Child" and "terminal illness" should never share the same sentence! Those who care-do, others question!

Can I play too? Thanks for the opportunity.

This looks like a good thing to offer into the St Jude's auction, too, for those of us with more money than luck!
