Can you please share processes you are using for it? Thanks in advance! FWIW; I use the polished tip of a deer antler for the insides of belt loops, or my handmade burnishing 'knife' made from a piece of hard red oak that came.from an old desk for the edges of an inlay. The leather is usually only 4/5 or 5/6 oz on inlay pieces, and is beveled on only one side. I just slightly dampen the area, lay it flat and rub the edge down good.

Can you please share processes you are using for it? Thanks in advance! Suicide: This could potentially be dangerous so use at your own risk, ok? Take the handle from an old artist's brush and chuck it into a hand drill or drill press. Then use that to burnish the insides of holes. I did this recently on a guitar strap and it works great! Just apply your burnishing medium to the hand of the brush and spin away. The tapered handle of an artists brush allows you to do a few different sized holes. Please do be careful... I would feel really bad if you harmed yourself. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
