Handy Hand Burnisher

Recommended Posts

I make horse driving harness and when it comes to burnishing the edges of 20' long reins, I need something to do the job quickly and easily.

So here's what I came up with:

I cut 4" of scotia ( concave wood molding from any hardware store), then used contact glue to fasten two strips of plastic cement board joiner to the back. A 4" piece of V profile aluminium strip was then able to slide into the plastic. Heavyweight canvas, as my burnishing material, is wrapped around the alumin strip and slides firmly into the scotia handpiece. The thickness of the canvas makes the "v" of it's backing into a rounded shape which self adjusts to any thickness of leather.

I have been using this now for about a month and it works more efficiently than anything that I have yet tried.
