I used leather new on my only western saddle.  But it seems to only clean. 
I have a jug of neatsfoot oil so used that and the leather got nice and 
soft.  Many use Murphy's cleaner mixed with water to clean take and keep it 
conditioned.  With the price of neatfoot oil being high, seems my next 
purchase for leather conditioning will be either the virgin oil or vegetable 
oil.  Which kind of veg oil?  Seems to me veg oil can get tacky and sticky? 
Or is it just when you are cooking with it????

Subject: Fw: [RC] Leather Treatment of Olive Oil


A leather worker/saddle maker I know swears by plain everyday "kitchen"
vegetable oil on leather all the time.  I don't recall him putting anything
out in the sun, just room temperature.
