First of all I want to say hello! My grandpa was a leatherworker, I never got to meet him, but the things he made where all around familys houses for years and I always thought they where awesome! I recently have been bitten by the leather bug. I was messing with some friends tools here and there and really liked it, so i went and bought the ultimate kit from Tandy last week, Ive made two tall/biker wallets so far, and ive had ALOT of fun doing it! I plan to make alot more things and practice alot! The question I have is, when lacing the edges do you finsh (burnish) the edge first then lace it? I dont like how you can see the unfinished edge though the lacing, maybe my lacing holes are to far apart. I would have posted a pic, but i need to figure out how to first. I searched gallerys and how to section, couldnt see anything on that. Thanks in advance for any advise. Eric.
