MADMAX22 Posted July 13, 2009 Report Posted July 13, 2009 Those edges are great. How did you do them? I've just started out and am in need of info. Take a look at the cornfused thread at the top of this section. http://leatherworker.net/forum/index.php?showtopic=16609 Quote
Members rybord Posted July 14, 2009 Author Members Report Posted July 14, 2009 (edited) I appreciate all the positive responses. On the edges what I've done is Sand then wet and burnish with some canvas. Dye let dry and sand with dremel. Dye let dry and hand sand up to 600 grit Dye let dry and hand burnish with Fiebings yellow soap liquid. I plan to use some beeswax next. I'm turning a rosewood dowel to burnish with and may be one to use with some canvas. I'm just learning and do appreciate any advice and words of wisdom. Thanks, Ray Edited July 14, 2009 by rybord Quote

I'm not much for the glossy finish, but that is just me, not a comment on the quality wich appears to be excellent. You are approching edge nirvana :D Thanks, I appreciate you generous comments. For the longest time I've wanted to try leatherwork and finally after much reading here and of course the books too I did. I was into cuemaking but the turn around time for making a cue is just too long and unless you have a large stream of work in process there's very little to do. I'm glad I tried this and I really appreciate all the great people here. Thanks, Ray Quote
