I had some ligtht colored gloves and was trimming some Texas Persimmon and in a bundle of branches squished up some green fruits...I have used the ripe fruit for lots of dying staining but never really did much with the green...welp that came to a end when I saw the glove...This is just what I am looking for I have a stockpile of tricks to put the "Treatment" on stuff, age many years in a few easy steps in minutes but this was a mover lol
Heres the gloves
I have a little hide test patch I keep on my keyDC lol and also did some test there I will test thorns dyes saps and waxes as I work...anyway I liked what I saw so this is what I did about that
I needed some color on some white as the driven snow Deer hide scrap for parts and pouches
