I would get a can of good men's shoe polish in burgundy and give the leather a good rub in let it dry for an hour and buff the hell out of it.

Otherwise I would smear Elmer's wood glue between the pieces and clamp. Be sure to wipe the excess glue off with water after clamping.</p><p>greg[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
