Members Tramps Leatherworking Posted February 26, 2015 Members Report Posted February 26, 2015 Thank you Bob. I thought that's what he's been referring to but wasn't certain. I'm using my bonefold quite often and just made me two out of chestnut for my dremel, but would like to get a few deer bones to play with. Thor, Bob is right, over burnishing can cause the edge to become rough... Quote ~Tramp~ Experientia magistra stultorum --- (Experience is the teacher of fools)
Members wlg190861 Posted March 8, 2015 Members Report Posted March 8, 2015 what works great for me with veg-tan tooling leather is. bevel the edge ( both sides ). dampen the edge, rub with saddle soap an hand burnish with a pair of your blue jeans, apply wax and hand burnish a little more. This gives me a wonderful looking edge. The only time I use a motorized wooden burnisher is when working with latigo or harness leather. Quote
Members chiefjason Posted March 8, 2015 Members Report Posted March 8, 2015 I've bought a couple of these and they are great. I have the "hole master" for my drill press and the hand burnisher for burnishing and forming holsters. Great stuff, fast shipping too. http://proedgeburnishers.com Quote
