Maybe that is what I will do is put it IN the sun. It's barely seen any (maybe 30 min a day). It's literally just too little to REALLY use. Like the examples for pencils? Seriously? Who uses them? Maybe I need to be more creative with it. But will find some spec of sun and leave it for like 4 months. /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />It's unfinished leather so it's going to fade/discolor from things like sun and water. The benefit is that after frequent use, you will have an insanely soft, buttery leather.
You can add a leather protectant (I think it's about $10 a bottle, although there's different kinds) and that will protect it from further fading or staining.
Personally, I like the character of unfinished leather so I don't have an issue with it.
While you can stop further fading, I think you won't be able to change the already discolored bits unless you dye it. Not positive on that part since I've never done it.
I have a friend who paints on leather, I should ask her if she knows.
But the other thing...it has literally SAT in the same position. One side down. And I barely get any sunlight in. How would this happen to both sides? It's never been near any water. Seems strange to me.
But I might "tan" it in the sun...
