I'm very happy with my progress for starting leatherworking on May 1st. I'm still waiting for the arrival of the dremel cocobolo burnishers to clean up the edges a bit more.

Here is a link to the cocobolo burnishers for a dremel or drill. I highly recommend them. It makes burnishing a breeze.

Gum trag and friction burnishing by hand or machine can make a nice edge on Horween leather

Nice design, love the rustic loo....take some Fiebings saddle soap and a piece of cloth...rubb hard and finish with some beeswax...no need for a machine or such....ohh and put some dye on your edges too...cool wallet !!Well done...

I level my edges with a dremel sanding drum, and burnish with the cocobolo. Your work is looking good, I love the CXL on your other thread! If I didn't have a waterbuffalo hide wallet that will never wear out I would be bothering you to make me one! On another note, I checked out the website posted for the burnishers, I just found out I need a bear maul, did you guys see those???
