Paul, I have a European pelt.
I'll let you see it when we meet at training!

I just acquired an old American black bear rug which is about 40 years old. I'm in the process of modifying the head and lower jaw to fit on a helmet. It's in good shape but after removing the old felt underside some areas of the leather are a bit dry. How do you treat the leather side of the pelt? I've searched all over the net and all I have found is that if it is starting to dry out it can be conditioned with oil, but I can't find which oil to use or even if I should use oil. How does everyone care for their pelts? Suggestions please...Thanks!

Neat's foot oil - the stuff you use on baseball gloves.

Really? Because the leather place told me Neatsfoot oil may not be good because the fur is still attached to the leather...But they weren't sure.

I was told by a taxidermist never to use neatsfoot oil on a hide. I could very well cause the hairs to fall out.

Best regards,

OOOh! That won't do! Nevermind! It did wonders for my new spolas, but that was naked leather...

Use ballistol . There's nothing better out there.

I figured I would share my Vexillarius Impression here....I know the prevailing thought is that they all wore chainmail and not Segmentata but my chainmail is still being made and not finished yet. Plus I kinda like the look with the Segmentata .... I am still debating on if I should build out the head of my wolf pelt or not....I am of the belief that they probably used them like this but I am sure the Romans had the ability to set them up with the full skull and eyes if they chose to...Anyway, just my thoughts.....

CHEERS

Now, if I had realised you were going to 'no-show' at training, I would have remembered and shown it to you at TORM!! Tongue
