Same Texture On Both Sides?

[DoubleC]

I think everybody has their own method of burnishing edges, but someplace on here, Hidepounder has a tutorial that everyone seems to like. Boning is just adding wax, like parafin, and rubbing with a bone, piece of wood, piece of antler or anything smooth and hard. I don't like metal as it leaves a grey hue. To bone boots, you pretty much have to have the wooden trees in them to give you something firm to rub against, which is another reason people don't do it anymore as trees are as expensive, if not more so , than boots.

Thanks Kevin. When I said Bobby, I think that IS Hidepounder. I know it was a tutorial on here I downloaded and for some reason I remembered it being signed as Bobby. I know I read through it and made up a list of things I need to burnish edges that I don't currently have, one being wax. I have a bronc halter I made using old saddle leather, and after I read the tutorial I have been fighting with myself (THAT gets interesting) on whether I want to burnish the edge of the pattern I cut from the old leather, or just leave it dyed, but rough. The burnished edges are beautiful, but this is suppose to look rustic the way it's made. I don't know, going to take a pic of it tomorrow on my horse, and maybe I can ask for suggestions on that too. It ties on so would be easy to remove to burnish. And I am assuming boning works for any kind of leather so where this leather gets scratched being removed from the old saddle, as if all the holes wasn't enough, I can bone them. I'm getting so many ideas my mind won't stop racing. Cheryl
