Members 9tpi Posted December 17, 2015 Author Members Report Posted December 17, 2015 Nice job! what kind of beveling tool are you using, if I might ask? Thanks Monica! As far as edgers go, to be honest, I only use them on firm leather like bridle and natural veg tans. When it comes to softer leathers like CXL, Calf, Essex i find they don't do a great job unless they are LAZER sharp. The leather tends to bunch and cut funny. So I just burnish the edges. The process of burnishing rounds the edge slightly and I'm happy with the results I get. Quote https://www.instagram.com/c_skelhorn
Members MonicaJacobson Posted December 18, 2015 Members Report Posted December 18, 2015 That's what I had found, so I'm glad to have that confirmed. I was asking to see what kind of edging I had missed. I guess I'm not trying hard enough to round the edges as I burnish. I just finished a wallet with black essex, and the edges were in no way rounded. Oh well. Quote http://monicajacobson.com/ https://www.etsy.com/shop/TrimGoTrix?ref=si_shop
