After 3 tries, I finally compared using a bone folder to a plastic one on my leather covers.

The bone folder gave me a much sharper, cleaner crease without any risk of scratching the leather, so has anyone else found a specific tool that made a huge difference in their finishing work?

Actually, bone folders can sometimes leave marks on really soft leather if you press too hard. I've had better luck with a Teflon folder for those kinds of projects, it just glides. The right tool really does depend on the leather type.

Yeah the right tool thing is so true, I ruined a veg tan project once going too hard with bone lol.
