Not really a woodworking question but in a slight way it might be considered somewhere in the same area of concern.... Got you wondering, Eh(?)
Anyway, I have an OLD Leather Mallot (Wrapped Rawhide) Well over the past 60 or so years (My dad used it when he was building B-26s during WWII) I just got possession of it and other of his tools, I would like to make it servicable (although I probably won't use it, but hate to see it in such demise condition) What would be the reccommended product or oil to soak it in to make it pliable again (although it is not su[ppose to be soft, it is as hard as wood and the ends are curling out away from the wrap.
Any suggestions on how to revive this Leather Mallot?
