Burnishing with a Wooden Slicker

With constant practice over some time, you will get the hang of this process. First, apply some tragacanth to a small area of the edge, arrange the area on the inner part of the burnisher in such a way that the notch picked in no way crimps the leather. Move the burnisher very fast in a to and fro motion along the edge in a firm yet gentle manner. The burnishing's primary purpose is to bring about the formation of heat by the friction been generated between the contact of the burnisher and the edge of the leather. This should continue until you hear a distinct sound. This is a signal that the burnishing is complete, and a visual cue is the shiny appearance of the edge.

Beeswax Application

This is done to make the edge appear warm and attractive with a soft glow. Apply some beeswax to the edges and rub it down with a piece of a soft cloth.
