First Leatherworking Project

[limpid glade]

Try to use sand papper it might help. and then use a slicker and smooth the edges out

[storm fern]

Emory board or the nail files that have lil sand paper sides should work to smooth it out a bit before you use a slicker

I’m seeing you say beveler not slicker

[celest bone]

yeah I used the beveler to curve the edges and it wasn't getting those spots without having to dig into the leather too much. I ended up doing sandpaper cuz it needed it anyway, and going to use the slicker next but. those little bits of the skin where the cuts converge just seem to stick out too much for my liking. its a bit more pronounced irl, wasn't able to capture very well on camera

GG @celest bone, you just advanced to level 1!

[cyan raven]

make sure you use either water or (prefered) tokonole before you burnish (use the slicker) use quick motions with the slicker but not a lot of pressure. thus will burnish those stray fibers down nicely

[celest bone]

I have beeswax, does that work the same?

[cyan raven]

that will work also, just don't cake it on super thick... thin layer is good
