What’s your opinion of the edge?

[Stetson912]

I can't say for sure but I think there's enough contrast that properly burnishing then would still show both colors. If you are in doubt take some scrap of each color and glue them together. Trim edge and burnish and see if it works out. 

I'd say the edge is ok but not quite to the finished stage.

You could try using a little white paper glue like Elmers or Fienings leathercradt cement.  I have used a more expensive edge treatment that leaves a bit of sheen but I swear it looks, smells, and acts like those glues.

i've thought about the same thing too .. though i think that elmers, on the edge of the leather, tend to darken it a lot, and a number of comments i've read, is that it doesnt look burnish nicely with the other parts of the edge....

but of course, those are just the bit that squeezed out... if the whole edge was evenly coated with a light application of elmers, it might possibly look ok?

doesn't shine enough, sadly.. but, overall, i am quite happy with how it turned out as it kept down the edge fibers..
