electrathon Report post Posted November 10, 2011 I am not a pro at this but I think one of the main keys is to start with quality leather. You will be astonished at how good the back of good leather looks. Aaron Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I'm not exactly certain what you're talking about, but if you're talking about smoothing the flesh side (back side) of the leather similar to my attached photo below, you can try sanding the back with an orbital sander. If you don't have an orbital sander, you can achieve the same thing manually, but it takes a whole lot of sanding... The final result depends on the tightness of the flesh fibers too. The tighter, the better - otherwise, it'll just look really furry... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
