Al Stohlman, "How to Color Leather"

This guide to coloring includes a breadth of information on cross-dyeing, shading, staining, and brushing techniques. Includes a helpful dye mixing chart for reference.

Al Stohlman (15 August 1919 – 6 March 1998) was a pioneer in leathercraft and continues to influence hundreds of thousands of leathercrafters worldwide. He and his wife Ann (June 30, 1924 – June 10, 2004) produced hundreds of magazine articles, doodle pages and other valuable tools still used in the leathercraft industry. A museum featuring much of his life's work is part of a collection of leather art located in the lobby of the Tandy Leather Factory Headquarters in Fort Worth, Texas.
