One of the things I love most about being a maker is the constant quest to learn new things and make things even better than before. I love being able to say with confidence that something I’ve made is the best it can be. I recently discovered a local leather shop (leather working is just not as common a thing as you might think!), and when I went in to browse through their finishing products, I found just what I had been searching for. My previous method for finishing edges was “good” , but now I can say that it’s the best! No more fraying around the edges, and all of the leather has a beautiful edge seal that’s painted on and hand smoothed over. Sigh. It’s a beautiful thing.
