Burnish Chrome tanned Leather 

You are most welcome

Thanks for this, I’ll try it out

Hows it hold over time?

I second this. With some firmer oil tan stuff beeswax works great

Yeah, the crazy horse is. It’s about a 8 ounce, the 4.5 ounce tobacco has a medium/soft temper

I've gotten 4oz oil tan that firm before. Actually it was a $30 side special from Springfield. Just call Springfield and place your order over the phone. They will go hand pick what you need. I've had amazing luck with their cheap leather. $30 for a side? Hard to beat that price

Poorest Leather, thanks that was the word I was looking for. I’ve had good luck with using Liquid Glycerine Saddle Soap by Fiebings to remove the overspill. It will darken a bit at first but after a day it will go back to somewhat normal. Do a test run on some overspill on a scrap piece of leather first and check it out a day later

Awesome! Thanks for sharing your experience! Have a nice day

Anytime, thanks for watching!

I don’t paint the edges, I do from time to time use some regular leather colors dye to darken the edges. I like the dye the edges first then use the tokonole.

I paint edges always before burnish with Tokonole. f

Thanks, no I didn’t. It’s from Crimson hides out of Singapore. They were the makers of the stitching irons that I bought so I added that to the order. Very nice I’ll see if I can drop the link crimsonhides.com/products/sand-block

You can find oil tan just like this. Or you can get pre dyed or dye your own veg tan (better option IMO) but if you wanna do it on the cheap, call Springfield and get one of their $30 sides. Just tell them what you want over the phone and they will pick it out for you. I like them for cheaper leather. If you want the best, I say go with Rocky Mountain Leather Supply. Never gotten something bad from them

I’ve tried some thing like that and it got smooth but the color didn’t turn nice. It kind got some darker spot on it.

Wow, I don’t know. I have on many occasions used it to slick the flesh side of Leather down.

Hi there, couple things you could try. First one is after putting it on let it sit for a few minutes. The other thing is what are you using to burnish it? I like using a piece of canvas, that works the best for me. Also it depends on the temper of the leather. If you’re using a piece from the belly area that is really spongy that’s going to be difficult to burnish. The good thing about a single piece if you don’t have to sand it, after using a sharp blade and getting a good cut just use an edger to knock down the edge and apply the tokonole, wait 4-5 minutes then use Canvas or a piece of old blue jeans. Hope this helps

Yeah, just try not sanding it. On that single piece all that sandpaper is doing is just roughing it up and fraying the fibers out. Change your blades often to get a great cut

@@LeatherHeadReviews ouch i did a mistake in sanding them then, i sanded to smoothen the round corners :( i used a piece of denim fabric to burnish them

Depending on the thickness of the leather determines what edger you should use. On 5 ounce I just use a number 2 Ron’s edger. It knocks the sharp edge off nicely

came here for this advice. perfect thread thank you.

Looks like it’s a chrome tanned leather. Check out Chamberlains leather care, they make one for shoes.

@@LeatherHeadReviews thanks a lot for answer. Appreciate that

Glad I can help

I have not, when burnishing with a piece of canvas the edge gets a little warm. What do you thinking? After burnishing heat up with a heat gun?

Start with 220 then 500 then 1000 to get the leather smooth, then 1200 between burnishing

The name of white cream is Tokonole, you can buy at Amazon.

its a C.S. OSBORNE & CO Bissonnette edger it cuts both forwards and backwards www.amazon.com/C-S-Osborne-Bissonnette-127-5-B-Edger-Size/dp/B07XPV87NY

i believe it was a #2

@@LeatherHeadReviews thans you,..

Thanks for naming the beveler. I just looked it up and an curious how you would polish/sharpen it? Would love to know before purchasing. Thanks!

@@rustyjames8029 , i looked up 'polishing beveler', best I saw was a video on someone elses channel. I don't put links for a competing channel on utube channels, but you can search for that and find it for yourself. Thanks

Funny you say that, I bought the canvas dropcloth from Walmart. It didn’t work that well, it was a little too soft and loosely woven. I need to buy some untreated canvas from Amazon, I think it was like nine dollars for a square yard. Much thicker and stiffer and does a much better job

@@LeatherHeadReviews Like i said i bought it at Harbor Freight. I also wrap the canvas around my wood slicker and have the smoothest edges i ever had , after sanding the edge of course

Good idea, I’ll give it a shot. Pretty sure I have enough canvas to last for a very long time
