@lordleathercraft: I've been asked again how I burnish my edges. Well, it's not easy because I change it all the time. But most recently, I've been trying to sand with less different grits of sanding paper. Instead, I tried sanding while the leather is wet. I did it by mistake once with Tokonole and the result was good. So I decided to try those steps: - sand with a 300/500 grit - wet the leather and sand again - when the leather feels smooths, stop - sand with a 800/1000 grit - wet the leather and sand again - when the leather feels smooth, stop - sand with a 1500 to 2000 grit - wet the leather and sand again - bevel your edges At this stage the leather could already be a bit shiny. - use pure @Tokonole or soft bees wax and burnish with a cotton fabric or denim. - (even after Tokonole, I apply a small amount of bees wax to nourish the leather) This should get you shiny and strong edges. I usually do all that after a trimming if I can, and after I stitched for a cleaner result. And you, what's your technique? Happy crafting!
