[Milsurplus] Leather and canvas rejuvenation

[D C *Mac* Macdonald]

Actually, they are/were Naugas, from which we
obtained Naugahyde.

Friend, now SK, used to regale folks with tales of
his Nauga ranch out west of Oklahoma City.  He
also had a sideline, building cast-iron hang gliders.

RIP, Fergie (K5SXJ)

The Neat is becoming scarce with all the suburban sprawl,
so harvesting the oil from their feet is becoming more difficult.

In the past, I have had both good & bad experiences with neatsfoot oil. Now 
I hear that neatsfoot oil is not compatible with horsehide, that it will 
harden horsehide. Sorry I can't tell you how to tell cowhide from 
horsehide...
