Looks really sharp!
For burnishing, I've gotten lazy and bought a dremel attachment and I think the big slot on here should fit a 3/8" slab of leather?
I use a mix of Bees Wax and Gum Trag and then run over the edges, back and forth a few times to moosh the fibers together and smooth the edge.
As others have said though - anything that can provide a little bit of friction will work. It's easier if you wet the edge with something, and I think water will even work in a pinch.
Linked product note: I'm not shilling for amazon, or any specific product - just linking items that I've bought as examples :)
Congrats on the leatherworking! I'm almost done with my last 7/8oz side. I didn't think it'd be this fun :)
I agree about the proedgeburnishers. They come off centered a lot. I got them replaced, but they're still off, the groove isn't deep enough, widths are wider than they advertise, and the bit is just too big. It makes it unstable for a Dremel.
If you find an decent priced one, let me know!
I actually ended up buying this onethis one off Amazon. It's a bit off center too, but it's grooves and size are much nicer. I ended up being to fiddle with the placement and get it to be mostly centered.
