Members JamesR Posted December 16, 2015 Members Report Posted December 16, 2015 When leather is staked does that make is more difficult to finish the edges? I have some staked bridle leather and it seems I can not get as good an edge as I can with some unstaked leather I have. Thank you Quote
Members MonicaJacobson Posted December 17, 2015 Members Report Posted December 17, 2015 I had never heard of the term. Is it as soft as tumbled? Quote http://monicajacobson.com/ https://www.etsy.com/shop/TrimGoTrix?ref=si_shop
Members JamesR Posted December 17, 2015 Author Members Report Posted December 17, 2015 Yes staking softens the leather. W&C offers it. You can see it on their price list. Not sure what tumbled is though? Quote

Members MonicaJacobson Posted December 17, 2015 Members Report Posted December 17, 2015 I think tumbled is just softened by tumbling it in a large drum, probably with a large batch of the same leather. Quote http://monicajacobson.com/ https://www.etsy.com/shop/TrimGoTrix?ref=si_shop

Possibly also with rocks or sand or something. Bowling balls, who knows? Quote "If nobody shares what they know, we will eventually all know nothing."
