Leather edge Burnisher

Leather edge burnishing is a technique used to smooth and seal the edges of a piece of leather. The process involves applying friction and pressure to the edge of the leather to create a polished and professional finish. Here's how it's typically done:

1. Sand the edge: Before burnishing, the edge of the leather should be sanded smooth to remove any rough spots or inconsistencies.
2. Apply water: The edge of the leather is dampened with water to help it become more pliable and to help seal the fibres.
3. Rub with burnishing tool: A burnishing tool is used to rub the edge of the leather, applying pressure and friction to create heat. The heat helps the fibres of the leather to bind together, creating a smooth, glossy finish.
4. Apply burnishing compound: A burnishing compound, such as beeswax or gum tragacanth, is applied to the edge of the leather to further smooth and seal the fibres.
5. Repeat: The process is repeated until the desired finish is achieved.

Leather edge burnishing is a common technique used in leather working to create a finished look on belts, wallets, bags, and other leather items. It's important to note that the process can take some time and practice to master, but with patience and persistence, it can result in a beautiful and durable finished product.
