My bags have fat seams - skiver?

Recommended Posts

So I don't skive the edges of my leather when constructing bags. Its not easy - but I wonder if it would look better and be easier to construct if I invested in a bell skiver? You can see the thickness in the pic. Its 4.5 oz veg tan -

Yah.   It would make a big difference.  Even just taking off 25% of the thickness would sharpen the edges without losing too much strength.   check out this video:

Personally I like the look as it is, each to their own :-)
