DIY leather paddle.

[FirstBorn]

I forgot about the sandpaper. That was for rounding the edges on the leather leaving a nice finished product. Leather sands pretty much like wood.

Alos fo final touches you can pound the stitching down using a hammer (dont overdo this). Waxing the edges and rubbing them will turn them more blank and smooth, i got a few tricks for this but im thinking ill fill in should anyone show interst.
