I hope it lasts a bit longer, got a wallet I have to ship back there after I get the shipment of roo leather from him -
I didn't know about that TexasLady but I have shipped things in that I've made with no problems so far.
-
I usually dye my edges at the same time as I'm doing the rest so that's not been an issue for me yet
-
I switched a few months ago. I apply water to the edge first, burnish. apply the wax then burnish again. Sometimes I'll take an old piece of denim and run over it again after I burnish the wax.
-
I use the medium poly mallet from tandy with no problems are you casing the leather properly?
-
water and natural beeswax
-
looks pretty good other then the few places on the stitching but you already know that -
welcome to the club After 2 years, I figure I'm over $2000.00 worth of tools and I don't even have any of the big ones but I'm making some money off what I make so I look at it as an investment far as the misses, sorry, I'm single so you are on your own there lol
-
it looks a lot more complicated then it really is. Wet the edges with water then burnish. Apply beeswax or gum trag then burnish again. Then rub with denim or canvas.

I try my best Jazzman and thank you but I'm no where near the quality of Rohn and Chief, those are 2 guys to look up to -
you can get lining leather to line with, don't always have to use linen to line with is the leather veg tanned? if it's not, getting a good burnish on it will be harder. I wet the edge slightly first, then use a wooden burnishing tool then finish with wax and burnish again. I usually dye my edges before I burnish even with water as it seems to prevent the dye from soaking in very well.

I think you'd be looking at 3 pieces to make something like this. And suede doesn't mold so you can't mold it. You need something that absorbs water and that is pretty much only veg tanned leather
