Tim Schroeder Report post Posted December 18, 2012 I try to use the same method as Bob Park. His method is desribed in the How Do You Do It Forum. First I sand the edges with 150, 220, 320 and then 400 grit sandpaper wrapped around a block of wood. The only way to get anything flat or straight is to sand with a block and never with just your hand. Then wet the edges lightly, glycerine bar soap rubbed in and burnished with canvas with saddlesoap rubbed into it. Dye and then rub wax and burnish with canvas with wax rubbed into it. Then several thin coats of Wyo Sheen. Sorry for the poor pictures. I will try to post some better pictures today. Thanks to everybody. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

skeeter Report post Posted December 18, 2012 Beautiful work! What weight of leather did you use? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Tim Schroeder Report post Posted December 19, 2012 Thanks for the comments. The inside and outside are 3/4 oz.. Spent some time skiving the insides down so they were really thin. Sanding the edges up to 400 grit made the burnishing fast and easy. I burnish everything by hand. The block of wood really straightens everything out nice.
