Shiny edges come from sanding. I start at 240 grit, and go through 240, 400, 600, 800, 1000, 1500, 2000, 3000, 5000, and 7000. Finish with a brisk polish with a canvas cloth. All good!

After tracing, I grab the swivel knife to cut the leather. Keeping the proper moisture level / dampness in the leather is critical for being able to get the feathered cuts at the end as well as keep the edges straight and clean.

Chronicling the creation of some more of the dragon cards that I made as gifts to the players in my Dungeons and Dragons game. This is the "Big Bad Evil Guy" of the game, so I figured it would make a good momento.
