You're not ready for this one. I'm a pro pool player and the tip we use at the end of the pool cue is made of leather. Layered or laminated leather to be more exact. What glue is used between the layers? No clue. Anyway, when we finish the installation, we burnish the sides of the tip - usually that's made with the cue spinning on a lathe. Most old school cue makers use a little bit of spit (or water) and a leather piece to final burnish the sides of the tip. It absolutely leaves a slick, mirror-like finish, but since the cue often comes in contact with the pool table cloth, the burnished barrier doesn't last much time and the tips tends to fluff up. What would you, dear leather experts, recommend for burnishing the sides of the tip so it last as long as possible. Thanks for your consideration :)

@markthebraider67205 жыл бұрын
Good eye there! Generally with leather the amount of time and care you take, the better the end result. Wax+gum can be considered a primer, so the base application. It works decently well standalone, but for a further step you can apply some sort of kote. Edge kote for example works well, you could also use Tan kote. Mark

About how much pressure while burnishing should be used?
@creativeendeavours33957 жыл бұрын
Hi, thank you for the tutorial. I have a few questions. 1. Does the leather need to be beveled? I am currently burnishing on the straight cut edge. 2. I first stain the edges, then burnish. Should I reverse this process? 3. How much pressure should I put on the wood slicker? 4. There's a little indented ditch in the middle of my edge. Should I press harder on the slicker or keep applying gum until it fills up? 5. I find that the wood slicker leaves a mark on the front and back of the leather, even with the largest slot. Is there a way to avoid that? Out all these questions, the thing that bothers me the most is the fact that the slicher leaves a mark on the grain and flesh side, about 1cm on each side. Thank you for your time!
@lionlambleather63067 жыл бұрын
Creative Endeavours it would be smart to bevel because when you burning you compress the edges of leather and if you don't bevel it can cause a ridge to form that is not visually appealing and for the marks caused by the burnishing tool try to use less water you want the edges damp not soaked you know you have the right amount of water when you hear a slight squiking noise when you burnish . only light pressure should be used on the tool that is all it should need. And I dye before burnishing because when you burnish it compress the leather and there is a chance will not let the dye to penetrate. Hope this helps

@photoartteacher9036 жыл бұрын
Yes and No Babbity, yes in the sense that friction will melt most anything - so you can technically burnish many things But NO in the sense that in leather work Burnishing usually refers to a specific "harder darker" edge that is used on Vegetable Tanned (VegTan for short) leather. Some people call VegTan leather tooling leather because it is the stiff leather that can be tooled (stamped and carved) the biggest reason it is only used on VegTan is that is the only type of leather that will maintain the burnished edge --- soft leathers can't be stamped or burnished because they don't maintain their shape - but get vegtan wet and push a thumb dent in and its there for a very long time

Damn dude, when I burnish to get a smooth edge the wood and leather start smoking. Idk how you are seeing any difference between pauses when you show us that looks the same as when you started just slightly stained. Also if you don't have an edge cutter, or even a burnisher, yet have a dremel or power tool that rotates I suggest grabbing a stick from the back yard and any sharp metal tool - spin the piece up and very, very slowly run the tool along taking half a mm off a pass until the thing is centrered and running true. Then pick a spot closer to the base of the stick for your heavy pressure zone, gouge a pass about 3mm, then 2mm inside that, then 1mm, then grab your thickest piece of leather wrap some sand paper (sand out) over it and run that up and down the leather. Make a few more gouge cuts into the wood for upper and lower edge burnishing for convenience. Then to use it first pull down, then push up, that way you're burnishing the outer edge first. Then press in deep for the middle. If you just do the middle portion of the leather the edges can mushroom out a bit. Wet the leather edge first, buzz your way along it (go slow but not slow enough to burn in or spot, a little smoke and it's time to move on) then re-dress the edge with dubbin or what have you. If you're working with stained leather use the stain last. If you've working with raw leather you stained with stained polish (like shoe polish in a can, not that paint crap) use that last on the edge too. You just saved yourself buying a bunch of tools and a bunch of products and learnt to make do. The screw ended dremel mandrels are perfect for this project - albeit you will need to find a drill bit or bur that is smaller than the screw end to first remove some material, measure the length of the bur up against the screw head so you know how deep to go then back off 1mm - upside of the screw end is it will drill itself home over time, so don't worry if you hand feed the wood on and it doesn't go in fully. You'll notice after a few uses it's drilled itself home. You've got to be careful - if you just screw that into the wood without removing material it will split the end. Upside of this method is if you use too much force the wooden portion will snap long before it'll harm your dremels balance, allowing you to grab another stick from the yard and try again having learnt some along the way.

Hey! Well, you can, but it is not always useful. Thin pieces of leather are harder to burnish. Also, you usually do not burnish leathers for other objects, for example chrome tanned leather for sofas. Generally, burnishing is most useful on "vegetable tanned" leather projects where the edges are fairly thick and where you want a smoother edge. So, use it on bags, straps, belts, wallets, things like that. I hope that helps. Mark
