Leather Edge Beveler

I needed an edge beveler for some leather projects and did not have one. I was not interested in buying one of the import models that Tandy offers currently and did not have the money to buy a better Osborne or King tool... so I made something to get by. This tool is made from a square-cut concrete nail that I annealed, ground, filed, polished and then heat treated. The handle is made from laminated Baltic birch plywood scrap that I had lying around and brass. The handle was sealed with Marine Spar Urethane.
