One of the things I have occasionally thought about is how the discoverer of turpentine actually did it. A scene plays out in my mind:

Bob: Hey Carl, how's it going?

Carl: Pretty good, Bob. What are you up to?

Bob: Well, I was about to go boil a tree.

#Waterproof #Boots and #Shoes:

1 pound boiled #Linseed oil
2 oz of #Wax
2 oz of #Turpentine
1 oz burgundy #Pitch

With this, [rub onto] new Shoes & Boots in the #Sun with a #Sponge [until] dry.
[Repeat] until fully #Saturated.

Then the #Leather is #Impervious to wet.
The shoes and boots last longer, acquire softness and #Pliability & are the most effective against #Cold.
