Buffing = Sanding!

Actually Buffing the skins flesh side is simply another name for sanding it usually using a Drum Sander. The sanding is intended to remove any shaving lines and slightly suede the flesh side of the skin. There are 2 types - an Overshot and an Undershot. Both usually use Drums that the sandpaper is mounted on and depending on the location of the Drum, it is either called an Overshot or Undershot. We sell both.
