Edge Gilding with Real Gold Leaf John Mitchell Approach

In this video I'll follow the #edge #gilding technique described by John Mitchell in his GoBW Standards of Excellence video from 1995. The main points are that he burnishes the edge before apply gold, uses starch size, uses brush/hair tips to handle the gold, and uses both a dog tooth and flat burnisher for final burnish.
