toasty1435 Report post 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 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

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.
