Let\'s see your Signifer and Aquilifer animal pelts
#51
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!
