Andrew Chee Report post Posted April 22, 2012 Hello all. I have a question on burnishing. My current process is to use saddle soap (or water) after edging, then I run it against either a wood burnisher on a drill press motor or a hard felt burnisher. Then I wax and burnish again. I don't currently dye the edges because I want to have a natural looking edge. This method works great on regular veg tan. I found thought that when I use harness leather (W&C harness leather), the area around the grain and flesh sides darkens a lot more then the center. I attribute this to the fact that there are oils and waxes from the hot stuffing that are more concentrated on the surfaces of the leather. But what happens then is the center of the leather has a lighter color than the edges. Is there a way to remedy this without using dye? Thanks.
