Recommended Method
Burnishing
5 steps
1

Bevel the Edge

Use an edge beveler matching your leather thickness. Run along both sides of the edge to round it.

Edge beveler (size 1-3)
Tip
A size 2 beveler works well for 5-8oz leather.
2

Sand Smooth

Sand the edge with progressively finer grits: 220, 400, then 600. Sand along the length, not across.

Apply Gum Tragacanth

Apply a thin coat of gum tragacanth or Tokonole to the edge. Let it absorb for 30 seconds.
