Macca Report post Posted July 29, 2013 Burnishing the edge is just smoothing it, giving a nice clean/polished edge Theres a great guide on how to do it on this very forum http://leatherworker.net/forum/index.php?showtopic=18101 dont worry if you don't have sanders etc, some sand paper and elbow grease will do nicely practice on some scrap first until your find a way that works for you Theres lots of experience on this forum & as its mostly Americans, they are always nice & helpful to us new folks, even us Euros Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
