pic01--Trimming the excess. You can see I haven't rounded the edges yet. This made for a *very* sharp edged piece.

pic02--I liked the contrast of the red leather showing through, but by the time I rounded the edges, and then dyed and burnished them, the contrast was lost. I'll make the finishing efforts like this before I assemble it next time, if I wish to preserve the contrasting edges.
