That's much clearer thanks Nice work by the way! I figure that covering the edges with another piece is probably the best option I have available to me at the moment.

Sorry you wouldn't be able to repost those photos using a photo dump website like imgur would you? Because the file size restrictions on this site mean that I can't really see what you mean... Cheers

I have checked the ebay site where I bought the leather from and there is no particular information as to how the leather was finished, does anyone know how I can figure it out? Also I have already glued my pieces together in preparation for stitching(herp derp) so after-the-fact solutions are essential here. At this point I do have a sheet of very thin, similarly coloured veg-tanned leather that I am tempted to fold over the sides and sew. By shaving the edges do you mean removing the fibres on the edge with a razor blade and then follow normal procedure?

My initial trials with a beeswax-boot polish-water mixture has proved no move successful than just beeswax, if anyone has other suggestions please let me know

I will definitely try it on a piece of scrap first, which I have already done with some beeswax and it produced a shiny-ish edge, by polishing paste I'm assuming you don't mean shoe polish?

Hi guys, I am just finishing making a suede maincure set out of suede leather, where I glued two layers of suede together and I was wondering what is the best way to finish off the edges so that they look nice. I know that you can burnish veg tanned leather, but I'm not sure if you can do it with suede, I have given it a go with some water but the results aren't much different from before. If it is possible to burnish suede edges can it be done with beeswax? Cheers
