Description
The Boxwood Creaser is an essential tool for those working with natural vegetable-tanned leather, designed for marking precise lines on the leather’s edge. This filleting tool is handcrafted in France, using French boxwood sourced from PEFC-certified sustainable forests.
Boxwood was historically chosen for its hardness, which allows the creaser to mark leather without causing excessive wear. Over time, the wood will develop a beautiful patina, making it a tool that not only serves as a functional asset but also a treasured companion in your craft.
The Boxwood Creaser allows you to create decorative or functional lines on leather edges, perfect for straight seams or adding aesthetic details. The small groove is also useful for guiding the sewing thread. To further refine the leather’s edge, it is recommended to use an edge beveler to remove material and create a subtle groove.
This tool offers four notches, enabling you to make four different lines, each approximately 1mm thick. The space between the edge of the leather and the line changes, offering lines at 1.8mm, 2.2mm, 2.7mm, and 3.3mm distances from the edge. For decorative lines, you can create a double line by marking one at 1.8mm and another at 2.7mm.
