The Easiest Way to Wet Mold Leather EVER!
It's finally here! We've been obsessively making these wet molded leather trays for months now, and thanks to our new partnership with Buckleguy we've made a full length tutorial on how to make your own beautifully DIY wet molded leather trays in the easiest way possible. Using these three part leather wet molds made from Baltic Birch, you're able to combine any two leathers you'd like to make absolutely stunning, luxurious valet trays in many different styles. We take you through the whole process, from setting up the wet mold itself to molding the leather, gluing it together, and sewig it up using a saddle stitch -- It's seriously one of my favorite leather crafting projects of all time!

    A couple of cool tips: You can resurface old punching blocks to restore the original surface, and you can make really nice handbags from these molds also by splitting the dies with the leather halfway (along the width), leaving the top open.

    I've been doing this for a couple of years. I'm using 8 oz veg tan. I'll get it molded and let set until it is not completely dry, just slightly damp. Set your oven at 200. Once to temp turn the oven off and place your mold/leather assembly in the oven and let cool in the oven to room temperature. I have found that the oven hardens the leather more than just air dry. You may want to try it to see if there is a difference in results. Weaver Leather has a good video making leather armor which is the same process.

    I have wet moulded up to 5" deep. I found that is about the limit. If you're using unbacked leather, you can use PVA glue at the molding stage and it will come out already as one piece. I also used to dry them in a 50 degC hotbox, which really sets the collagen in the leather.
