5 Inch Canvas Burnishing Cloth 6 Pack

5 x 5 Inch Canvas Burnishing Cloth for Hand-Burnishing and Leather Finishing.

Achieve smooth, sealed, and professional-quality edges with the 5 x 5 Inch Canvas Burnishing Cloth 6 Pack—a must-have finishing supply for leathercrafters who prefer traditional hand-burnishing techniques. These square-cut cloths are made from durable, tightly-woven canvas that delivers the perfect amount of friction and texture to polish leather edges and surfaces without damaging the grain or overstressing the fibers.

Ideal for use with burnishing compounds such as beeswax, tokonole, or gum tragacanth, these canvas cloths help to compress and seal leather edges after beveling and dyeing, giving them a sleek, slightly glossy finish. The rough-yet-refined weave of the canvas grabs just enough resistance to create the friction needed for heat generation—naturally smoothing and compacting leather fibers for a long-lasting edge.

Each cloth measures 5 x 5 inches, offering ample surface area for controlled hand-burnishing, wrapping around edge tools or dowels, or fitting snugly into your palm. The compact size is ideal for travel kits, on-the-go projects, or bench work. With six cloths included, you can dedicate individual squares to specific compounds, colors, or finishing stages—keeping your workspace cleaner and more efficient.

Why Use Canvas for Burnishing?
Canvas is a traditional burnishing material favored by leatherworkers for its ability to polish without being too abrasive. It creates heat through friction, allowing waxes and other compounds to melt slightly and penetrate the leather fibers—helping edges lay flat, seal properly, and develop a beautiful sheen. Unlike synthetic cloths or paper towels, canvas holds up well under pressure and won't disintegrate with repeated use.

Whether you're finishing a hand-dyed strap, smoothing the edge of a sheath, or adding final polish to a handcrafted belt, the Canvas Burnishing Cloth 6 Pack is a simple yet indispensable tool that delivers time-tested results with every pass.
