We’ve sold out of our Yew and Plum wood Burnishers and are sourcing new wood stock... harder than you might think, which is why these Burnishers are so rare, especially the Yew. If you’re interested in hearing when we’ve new wood stock in and hand turned in London, just send an email with your wood preference and we’ll contact when they’re made.
We’ve also 7 other unique wood Burnishers in stock on our Shop Page, all handmade turned to a super smooth finish so they work straight out of the box.

Making a Leather Burnisher - the hard way.
Top to bottom
1. Start with the blank
2. Roughly round it to the largest outside diameter.
3. & 4. Now taper the end. Both of these had to be rejected due to knots or cracks.
5. Now mark out for the grooves. Yup! This was also rejected due to a weakness crack.
6. A finished Leather Craft Workshop Days leather Burnisher made from some lovely rare Yew Wood.

Working with natural materials such as vegetable tanned leather and rare wood’s is wonderful but can certainly have its issues. I do though feel for wood turners as they really don’t know what’s inside until it’s on the lathe. It makes leather hide selecting feel quite easy!
We could of course use Beech or Ash due to its uniformity..... but that’s too easy. We want to create character hand made tools and choose rarer character hardwoods to give you something more special to own and work with.

New batch of Burnishers/Slickers are in. I love seeing other crafts in action, seeing how all our Burnishers are made by hand on the lathe by Terry
Woodturning’s great fun if you’ve not tried it.

Because when I bulk ordered all my supplies I forgot to order the right stuff to burnish my edges. However I did read you can use beeswax and because of some past hobbies I had a bunch extra stashed away! Hallelujah for trying so many things out and just stockpiling a plethora of random supplies.
