Working with Badalassi Carlo Wax
Working with Badalassi Carlo Wax
Wax leather is highly regarded for its excellent workability.
It cuts cleanly, skives well and produces crisp burnished edges, making it a favourite for premium leather goods. Minor handling marks that occur during crafting are a natural feature of waxed leather and often blend into the surface through gentle buffing or regular use, contributing to its distinctive lived-in appearance.
