wwwgpb Report post Posted April 3, 2018 Hi everyone, Been googling all over and finding tonnes of great info around burnishing and using edge paint. Where I’m stuck for this project is dealing with edges on a single piece of leather (I think chrome tanned - certainly not easy to burnish) so the flesh side is exposed. This happens to be a notebook cover and the picture attached is just part of the flap. The flesh side is beautifully soft so I want to keep that as is. I’m just not sure how to deal with the edges. Is there a common approach to treating edges like this? I thought about edge paint but am worried about how that will affect the flesh side of the edge. I will try on some scrape, but if anyone has some suggestions that would be fantastic. Thank you! Greg Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I don't really do much with chrome tanned edges other than leave them be. If it gets lots of use it will sort of burnish over time. .02 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
