I use any hardwood i can find for the stands . I am using Alder for the time being. The buenishers are made out of ccbolo. considered one of the most beautiful woods in the world. It is loved by leatherworkers because of the natural oils in the wood. I made these tools because I know how much trouble it is to burnish the edge of a leather project.

I am witing to request an ad be removed from your site fo " tools for sale." I had been selling to members at a much discounted price a set of burnishers and am about to embark on selling to wholesale to stores only. I have made a deal with the stores That if I do sell them to the public it can only be retail which is only fair to them. I need to have to ad removed becuase even today I am still getting request for the tools and I am afraid that the stores will see this ad and not order any from me . so if you could please remove the ad place by leatherman1457 for a "7 Pc Cocobolo burnishing set for 30.00 it would be a great help to me. I will place a new ad for the tools redirecting them to my website where I have them at retail price. thank you Gary Lyon Name: Gary Lyon UserName: leatherman1457 IP Address: 174.28.31.191 Email Address: leatherman1457@aol.com
