Why Choose a Sandalwood Burnisher?

Sandalwood’s natural properties make it a top choice for burnishing tools, providing just the right amount of friction to generate heat and seal leather fibers without overheating or damaging your edges. The multi-groove design ensures compatibility with a wide range of leather thicknesses, delivering a professional, glossy finish every time.

How to Use:

1. Slightly dampen your leather edge with water or burnishing paste.
2. Select the groove that matches your leather’s thickness.
3. Rub the burnisher back and forth along the edge by hand, or attach to a rotary tool for powered burnishing.
4. For hard-to-reach areas, use the pointed tip to achieve a consistent finish.

Perfect For:

• Edge finishing on belts, straps, wallets, and cardholders.
• Both hand and power tool burnishing.
• Beginners and experienced leathercrafters seeking a professional edge finish.

Upgrade your leatherwork with the Sandalwood Leather Burnisher, the essential tool for creating smooth, durable, and beautifully finished edges on every project.

How to Burnish a Leather Edge:

1. Prepare the Edge: Trim the edge with a sharp knife and sand it smooth using fine-grit sandpaper.
2. Moisten the Edge: Lightly dampen the edge with water using a sponge or cloth. Do not soak it—just enough to raise the fibers.
3. Apply Gum or Wax (Optional): For a smoother finish, apply 
   Gum Tragacanth, Tokonole, or beeswax.
4. Burnish the Edge: Use a wooden or plastic burnishing tool. Rub it quickly back and forth along the edge with firm pressure. Friction will generate heat and smooth the fibers.
5. Repeat if Needed: Reapply moisture or gum and continue burnishing until the edge is smooth, shiny, and sealed.
