<p>My wheel leather is shot. Not only do I have spots of eroded / worn areas but the stitching is now going also. Instead of trying to salvage the Cordavan/ Buckskin or whatever color they call it, I plan on stitching up some new elk leather grey covers on the wheels. Once I feel like that investment is warranted.</p>

<p>Sam, that's an interesting cause for the spots. I assumed it was where I had drug a jib sheet across the wheel when setting sail. It's time to do mine again.</p>

<p>My wheels have spots where the leather has "worn". It is noticeably lower with surface loss in a few areas. The best theory so far is that sunscreen attacked the leather , essentially like a rot or fungus attack.</p>
<p>I have used leather treatments to keep the leather supple, but both wheels are looking rather worn.</p>

I use cordovan shoe polish on mine and it's a pretty close match.
