Hi thanks for the reply. I was using a sponge to wet the leather, letting it turn back to its natural color before i began tooling it. I was curious if there are any videos showing how to walk the beveler smoothly so it does not leave the marks like it did in my project. I am tooling on a granite slab, im using a 9oz mallet from tandy leather and mostly using a B203 beveler. thanks for any pointers and ill check out that info about casing the leather thanks!

Hi i am working on making leather fire helmet shields and had a few questions. Made my first one the other day but having a hard time with the beveling with it leaving alot of uneven marks. Any suggestions on how much to wet down the leather or how to start so that its more even? not sure if im wetting the leather to much or possible not cutting my lines deep enough before i bevel? Any suggestions/ tips would be great thanks!
