How-To Burnish Leather Edges

I am absolutely no expert when it comes to burnishing leather edges of things like wallets so I have always been reluctant to make a video on how to do it, but enough of you asked that I decided I’d make a quick video of MY process, but definitely don’t take this as the only or “proper” process…just what I have found works best for me and my workflow.

Nice! I'm glad you're posting these little short videos. They're helpful and quick and easy to watch! :)

[@EthanCarterDesigns]

Thank you Drew! It's like you guys said on the show, It's not going to drive my watch hours or anything, but hopefully people find it helpful and it's not that much extra work to get it on here after IG!

[@BearMaked]

I feel mislead. There were no leather shorts anywhere in this video.

[@EthanCarterDesigns]

Hahaha click bait for the win!

[@ProLicensedHunter]

can you do same thing with pu leather or synthetic leather ?

[@julianbabilonia8562]

Can I use gum tragacanth instead of tokonole to burnish the leather edges?

[@EthanCarterDesigns]

I've never done it personally, but I bet it would work!

[@ОрловАлихан]

Qualquer cera de abelha serve e da o mesmo efeito ou até melhor

For how long you keep using the wood tool?

Probably 5-10 seconds
