Cutting Two Pieces Identical

OK it seems I've burnished to hard...its left a ring/ indention/ edge on the top grain side...if I wet it will it come out?I can't afford to waste leather...!!!

What do you mean by an edger? I just cut it and burnished it...

Oh boy -- "...Forest for the trees...". I don't think anyone mentioned this, did they? I think you said you were a woodworker (unless I'm confused, which is totally possible).

An edger cuts the edges off the top and bottom edges of the strap. Like rounding a square wood blank before turning it on a lathe. Makes burnishing a WHOLE lot easier!..

Using the edger makes it easier for ANY METHOD!! (to address your additional question)

Get some pictures up of this indentation and we'll get it fixed. It's possible, from the sounds of it, that we might be able to turn it into a bead line

For right now, let's just stop and make sure we're all on the same page before we move forward.

Must be thinking of a different thread.

No problem with the tag.

Just go ahead and post them then let me know that they're there. I'm off work in about a half hour and I gotta run to the store, but I'll check back in once I get home. We'll make sure we get you going one way or another.
