    I'll bet that edge is being ever-so-gently tickled into perfection...
    That kinda describes it pretty well, wave riding in reverse It is about the push/pull bias with the spine but it's not about speed, it can be done slowly too. The spine does slightly curl the leather while the edge trails on a flat surface but it's not for beginners. Too easy to pressure the edge.
