Members toasty1435 Posted July 31, 2012 Members Report Posted July 31, 2012 Hi all, I've been burnishing some edges on some piece lately and I have a had time of keeping the edges from becoming flared out and making a raised edge on either side of my piece. Should you always bevel the edge of the leather before you burnish it or is there another way to do it so I do not need to bevel it? Thanks. Quote
Members shtoink Posted July 31, 2012 Members Report Posted July 31, 2012 (edited) It was my understanding that beveling was to be done before burnishing, but your burnisher needed to accommodate the thickness of the edge you are working. Edited July 31, 2012 by shtoink Quote
dirtclod Posted July 31, 2012 Report Posted July 31, 2012 You just get a raised edge sometimes even if you edge before burnishing. Most of the time i edge it again to get rid of the raised part and burnish it by hand again with a deer antler and a piece of a cracker or cereal box, it doesn't take but a minute to do. Quote
