Why dye lether Just sun tan it


I don't dye leather unless I have to. When I get a side of leather I lay it out in the sun for a couple of hr or all day depending on the time of the year, I live in Arizona so summer is the time to do it, there is only a few days in the year that this won't work. You get a nice medum tan color.
I have not tryed a heat lamp or uv lamp but it should work. I don't know if this procedure will be ok with other leather workers but I get a lot of compleaments on my sheaths Gib
