LTC Report post Posted May 13, 2014 (edited) Putting a nice crease around the edges would look better. also, something is going on with your edge beveling. might want to practice it on some scrap. not sure if you did anything to burnish the edges. if not, look for Mr. Park's guide on burnishing on here. also check out Nigel Armitage's videos on youtube, in particular the saddle stitch in detail. the leather looks nice. did you buy it that way or did you stain it?

It was that way when I got it, It was the cheapest leather I could find at a swedish company and cost 5-6 $ per KG Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
