Haven't had any good and remaining results burnishing goat skin. I ended up using a soldering iron and if that's not an option I'm folding it inwards.

I have had good results burnishing goat skin. It depends on the tannage.
The image attached is of a goatskin wallet. That top piece - a cash strap - has been dyes and burnished. I think it's a decent burnish.
