Accuracy was okay with all. Truthfully I need to work on my flinch before I can make any real comparisons...

    Beveling and Burnishing Leather

    I'm starting to do a little leather work. So far I've made a ball bag, a flint wallet and a tool roll. I was wondering how you bevel and burnish leather? Are there different size tools for different size bevels or leather?
