Hello All,
My name is Frank and I got into leather working given the fact that I enjoy the time spent using my hands. I also enjoy wood working since you get to see the end product as soon as you reach the pinnacle upon completion. I have been going thru the videos and noticed that a creaser is often used to clean up the edge of the leather piece. Is this a better practice than using an edge beveler?
Hello there,
Thank you for the introduction.
For veg-tan a beveler is a good idea in addition to a decorative crease. As most creasers are rounded, soft leathers will take on a 'bevel' of sorts to the edge as well as a crease line.
Firm leathers won't conform to a rounded creaser so the corner of the edge will need to be shaved off with a beveler.
