Dun Report post Posted January 26, 2018 Was looking at niwa products and was wondering what leathers could burnish like this? Just dyed veg tan? buttero? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

alpha2 Report post Posted January 27, 2018 That work has been on this forum before. Last year sometime, if I remember correctly. Couldn't say where, but it raised quite a few eyebrows at the time. Amazing edges. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
bikermutt07 Report post Posted January 27, 2018 I am only guessing, buttero or cordovan? Something more expensive than I have been able to afford. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Something more expensive than I have been able to afford. halfmoonleather on instagram was just showing off some avancorp horse fronts that are beautiful and apparently hand burnish well, and may start selling it by the square foot! If I don't get a fileteuse for all this pigskin I have(that doesn't hand burnish) I may have to start ordering stuff like this. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Sorry to be so obscure but out of respect to Niwa I am hesitant to elaborate any further. There are more than one way to achieve this effect and if someone wants to do something similar, I can only say that burnishing and the leather types are not necessarily the only way to come at it.
