I live in north Texas... we actually had a cold front come through.. dropped the temps down a few notches..... we might actually cool down to the 105+ level if it this trend continues....:rolleyes:

I had thought of putting some leather dye and sheen on this one, just to see how it reacts to it. I play with leather a little bit, not enough to be very good, but that's what I've done to a couple of sheaths I've cobbled together....I've never seen any mink oil.... would neatsfoot do the same thing, I wonder, or is mink more magical?
We got out of the 100's closer to the coast last week thank goodness. I don't know if neatsfoot has waterproofing properties, I don't think it does. Mink oil is old skool, it's been used for 150 years or more I think. Conditions and waterproofs. I use it on all my leather boots. NOT for suede or exotics though.

Okay, @RDaneel and 5K Qs 5K Qs y'all have to STOP with the Case Teardrops! You know I have a sickness! Not nice! :D
