Buff Leather 5" (Brown Center).

A Leather Buff is a type of polishing tool used in jewelry making to achieve a smooth, shiny finish on metal surfaces. It is made of a soft, high-quality leather material that is able to hold polishing compounds and apply them evenly to the metal surface. The 5" diameter size of this buff is a convenient size for most jewelry projects.

The best use for a Leather Buff in jewelry making is in the final stages of polishing a metal piece, after any scratches or rough spots have been removed. It is especially effective for achieving a high shine on precious metals such as gold and silver.

One unique use for a Leather Buff in jewelry making is to create a textured or brushed finish on metal. By using the buff with a lower-grit polishing compound, the surface of the metal can be textured to create a soft, matte finish.

A must-have jewelry making item to use alongside a Leather Buff is a polishing compound, such as jeweler's rouge or tripoli. These compounds are used with the buff to create a smooth, polished surface on metal.
