What Size Hole Is Best For 3/8" Lacing?

Recommended Posts

Quick question, guys. Tried searching, but....

I'm lacing the belt onto a pair of chinks and wondering what size hole is best for 3/8" lacing? I'm planning to use 5/6 oz chap leather for the lacing, with beveled edges. Is there a standard size, or just whatever the lacing will fit through? Is a round hole good, or should I use an oval?

By the way, the chinks are Bob Klenda's Red Rock pattern. All done except for the belt. Pictures coming soon.

Hmmm. Tried making the lace out of 5/6 chap leather. Tried lacing it on a test piece. Didn't like the look of it. I even beveled the edges, but it wanted to curl the wrong direction, so it looked pretty poor. Any recommendations for type of leather and weight for 3/8" lacing?
