JamesR Report post 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 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MonicaJacobson Report post Posted December 17, 2015 I had never heard of the term. Is it as soft as tumbled? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
JamesR Report post 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 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

MonicaJacobson Report post 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 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
