It's because you're "tannin" your hands.

Ya know, I tried explaining the whole tannin, iron attraction thing with oaks to a HO, I swear they thought I was on crack! Told them to look it up if they didn't believe me, they did, but still could not rap their brain around the idea of tannin leather, instead of tanning!
