Finishing the Edge

Edge bevellers, burnisher sticks, Tokonole, Gum Tragacanth, edge paint, and sandpaper for the complete edge finishing workflow.

Decide whether you want a burnished edge or a painted one before choosing the finishing products. For burnishing, match the compound and burnisher to the leather and the shape of the edge. For a painted finish, follow the paint’s preparation and drying instructions; do not assume the same sequence applies.
Our leather edge-finishing guide explains the preparation and helps you choose a route before working on the finished piece.
