My project is very simple (in my opinion) just some I watch straps. Since this is my very first project, I have no experience nor studies in leather would like your advice any tips. I can tell I’m having problems with burning the edges, for this straps I used tokonole gum with a denim cloth.
Thanks for your feedbacks!!!!!
Thank you for posting your work!
Yes some leathers such as chrome tanned leather and re-tanned (combination chrome and vegetable tanned) cannot successfully be burnished in the traditional way. Difficult to say from your picture, but that looks like an oil tanned leather that is normally combination tanned.
More info about the leather and the techniques you are using to burnish would be helpful.
Cheers,

Good work! I wish my first project looked this good.
If your having trouble with the edges, is it possible that maybe the leather isnt suitable for burnishing?
