I just finished this belt , bought snake skin from ebay , had a belt cut to 4 oz. at springfield leather , and cut out pattern then laid it over 8 oz belt. I traced the pattern then put clear polyester resin from home depot on skin for protection. Glued skin on belt than stitched the two pieces together. the other belt was a copy from another member that he posted, I hope he don't mind, I would give him credit but I can't remember who it was but he will know if he sees the belt.

Good looking belts. I have a few long spine stingray that I want to make a belt like that. I have not had the courage to cut it up just yet.

Belt went together nice with two pieces the poly spray does a nice job. Thanks for the reply I really appreciate that.I probably made seven or eight belts.

Nice belt.

I could just imagine how cool that'd look with a matching holster.

here is the knife sheath that goes with that belt, thin horse hide cut out and two pieces of 8 oz leather hand stitched what you don't see and I'll try and find a picture is on the back there is two horizontal straps for shoulder carry and on those two straps are a vertical strap that allows you to carry knife low. You can take that strap off and carry belt high.

Very nice, Mike! I'm about to try a sheath in this style (minus the inlay), so it helps to see what other people are doing. I would recommend that you stitch around the inlay on the black leather as well, just to keep everything nice and tight as it ages.

Very nice, I like that strap system.

Personally, I prefer making stacked leather sheaths like that. However, it seems as if most of my customers prefer fold over style sheaths.
