The Main Technique of Coloring Leather is a technique-driven guide to coloring vegetable-tanned leather, focused on building clean, controlled color with gradual shading and layered effects. It covers practical setup and preparation, then walks through methods such as airbrush application, masking, and special effects.

A key feature of the book is its guidance on dye and finish compatibility, helping leatherworkers better understand how different products interact when planning a coloring and finishing process. This makes it a useful reference for pictorial carving as well as other dyed leather projects where consistency and control are important.

  • Leatherworkers looking to improve consistency and control in coloring and finishing
  • Makers working on pictorial carving or projects requiring smooth color transitions
  • Leathercrafters seeking a clear reference for dye and finish compatibility
  • Intermediate leatherworkers and motivated beginners expanding beyond basic dye techniques

This book is suitable for intermediate leatherworkers, though motivated beginners will also find it a valuable reference.
