Burnishing Sharkskin

Recommended Posts

Hey folks, any tips on burnishing the edges of sharkskin, or should I do it exactly like cowhide? I plan to trim a pancake holster with sharkskin so the edges will all be exposed as opposed to an inlay. Thanks!

Due to the fiberous nature of shark and the like, I soak in some Feibings Edge Dye Finish along the edges before gluing down. Takes about 4 good coats to fully saturate the fibers and it helps to compress the edges with a hand roller once the dye/finish is dry and before gluing to the backing leather. Glue, trim, and burnish as usual.
