I love the look of edge lacing, but it's just a time-consuming and boring task. What's your secret?
Well, I'm sort of bias to edge braiding. I got started in leather work as a braider, so I'm always partial to that look.
I do burnish edges, and have had a few come out looking pretty good, if I do say so myself, (and I do!). I bought the new wood edge slicker Tandy just came out with, and it works great, but, I just like doing edge braiding. It's sort of therapeutic, if that makes sense.
Plus, it looks a lot more complicated than it really is, so it impresses the customers..
