Hi ThinkDerm,

The sides are sanded, dyed, waxed and burnished. After that, an edge dressing is applied to seal the edges. All the items posted are hand-stitched actually (i do try to get them as neat as possible)!

They are finished edges. Raw edges do not wear well and i never leave my edges raw.

For the edges, they are sanded, burnished with wax and dyed. Then, a resin based edge ink is applied to seal the edges and to give it a smooth finish, this is unlike those that are soft/rubbery and they will not peel off.
