Oils for Leather: TEAK, TUNG, LINSEED ?

[Prison break]

LEATHER
Cue Case, Messenger Satchel, Jacket.

I'd like something easy to use, good penetration quality, quick dry.

don't want an oil that lingers, not concerned with color change, am concerned with Blotch.

what's the best way to be sure the finish will absorb oil evenly?

Saddle soap. Google it. Inexpensive and great leather conditioner. Good luck!

Prison break, Howdy;

Kinda depends on the leather. Some manufacturers recommend different kinds of oil.
I had bought a used cue case so I contacted the Instroke and they were adamant that
Neat's-foot oil should be the only oil used. On a pair of sewing Palms I have I only use
Sno-seal as a oil would make them to soft but the Bees wax and oil mixture works great.

Never be afraid to contact the maker if you know who they are to see what they suggest.

Saddle soap is a great leather cleaner, but doesn't do a great deal of conditioning. Bick 4 is an excellent leather conditioner and will not darken the leather. It's highly regarded in the boot community as one of the best value products you can use.

So you chose a wood finish over a leather conditioner for.....leather?

That's an interesting choice.

It's new to me
Teak took time to dry and harden, and heat.

I had 4 attempts at finish, each time I realized the oil was changing, curing?
Became little darker as it went on, not much.
Eventually, hardened, good clarity, I wish it was still here, I didn't think to photo, wanted it out the door.
Heat and Time, that was the magic.

It also can soften leather. But it can also break down the leather over time. After saddle soap , I use Neatsfoot oil. Neatsfoot will darken leather.
