Want Shiny Edges? Do This First!

[@HeretikLeathercraft]

After this, i usually add some bee's or carnauba wax and melt it with heat gun till wood absorb it. A little polish with a rough cloth and slicker is ready to work! ;)

Burnishing solves many issues

[@ShadowmereX]

Will applying some kind of wood oil to the burnisher work similar to this trick?

[@LeathercraftMasterclass]

I don't believe it would, no.

[@ShadowmereX]

@@LeathercraftMasterclass then I have to get myself some fine grit sandpaper. Thank You Philip :)

[@shanehansen2141]

Would it be safe to assume that a harder/denser wood like oak would make a better burnisher than a softer type like pine?

[@LeathercraftMasterclass]

Yes, a tight and less varied grain will give the best result.

My wooden tool it's Round. Maybe it's better? 🤔

[@LeathercraftMasterclass]

I do the same thing to a round burnisher too. Round burnishers are best for curved edges and straight burnishers for straight edges.

[@deanbriggs5058]

Absolutely amazing trick!!! 🤯🤯🤯🤯 always wondered how to get them ready!! Does this work on all of the ‘cheap’ burnishers??

[@LeathercraftMasterclass]

Yeah, as long as they are of reasonable quality to begin with.
