Finally got the nerve to try a toe plug and can say I am please. The leather I was using was a little "wrinkly". I was pleased at the stitch spacing maintenance inside and outside radius but the double back stitch then just looks chunky... but that is where Mr. Stohlman says to do it. I left the edges just burnished as I don't feel edge paint is really period myself.. funny which projects I do and don't edge paint.... Any toe plug tip would be appreciate or general constructive comments on the
