RiverCity Report post Posted August 18, 2013 Are you cutting a gouge line on the backside where the fold will be? If not you need to. You can then lightly wet the leather and use a bone folder make the fold and get a nice line/corner over the edge of a table etc. If its really stiff, you can fold it over and hammer it with a mallet and another piece of leather over it as a protector. Caution with hammering a fold, it can and usually does cause the leather to bunch up a little bit at the fold line. Chuck Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
