Hi! Thanks for watching. That is called burnishing and it gives the edge a nice smooth edge instead of the frayed leather edge. I use Tokenol on the edges before burnishing to help that process.
👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻fantastic video sir....thank you....please...as I’m new to the craft could you direct me to a EUROPEAN supplier ( not uk)of tools+++ leather suppliers.....thanks
Sorry old boy however this the first piece of your work that I need/want/must be critical of; it looks homemade! The lack of finishing on the flap, the flat (2D) logo mark and no cushioning at all!!?? It’s a classroom project not a Swedish Maker item, not at all. Disappointed. Bob England
