High Performance Leather Products
Birchees leather products are all natural and contain no animal or petroleum products. Animal based products such as neatsfoot oil over time will oxidize heavily in your leather causing damage. Our leather products last longer and protect better against a greater variety of things that can damage your leather.
Rejuvenate and protect against water, salt, bacteria, mold, fungus, and even insects, bugs, and worms. Our products do not block your leathers ability to breathe which is important for you and your leather.
Salmon Leather
Birchees is the first and only producer of 'Russian Leather' style salmon leather. Natural, traditional materials, like birch bark, birch tar, and willow, are used, mirroring the historic methods of crafting highly sought-after Russia leather. The result is a beautiful, tough, resilient salmon leather with enhanced wear and salt water resistance. Its distinctive smell evokes the authentic aroma of Russia leather.
Birch Pitch & Glue
We make high quality birch pitch, birch glue, and birch sealant. These products have a long and storied tradition of many different uses. From hafting (Otzi The Icemans ax), to birch bark canoe construction, to repair and sealing of ceramics in the Iron age. Birch pitch is a finer pitch than pine pitch and performs better in extreme hot and cold environments.
Tack Cleaner & Conditioner
Our unique saddle and tack conditioner, crafted from birch tar, jojoba oil, beeswax, and d-limonene, cleans effectively while nourishing leather. Birch tar’s potent antimicrobial, antiviral, antifungal, and antimold properties protect against bacteria, mold, and fungi, while its smoky scent deters insects, and rodents. Jojoba oil deeply moisturizes, maintaining suppleness, and beeswax forms a water-resistant barrier. D-limonene naturally dissolves dirt and old oils. This premium eco-friendly blend ensures your tack stays clean, conditioned, and safeguarded from pests and environmental damage.
Birch Tar: Nature's Guardian for Your Garden
With a rich history in Europe dating back centuries, birch tar has been a trusted natural protector for plants against insects, rodents, and fungi. Derived from birch bark through dry distillation, its potent antimicrobial and repellent properties deter pests like voles, slugs, and beetles, while safeguarding against mold and environmental damage. It also seals fresh tree cuts to prevent infection, ensuring healthier growth in your garden. This eco-friendly solution revives ancient wisdom for modern horticulture.
