Not my first leather projects but my first attempt's at saddle stitching and using veg tan leather leather for projects. The belt was my first attempt to saddle stitch anything. Growing up I have helped my dad chrome tan a few deer and sheep hides even a few brain tan projects, then mainly primitive projects for black powder and rendevues. Dad has switched over to a bark tan for his sheepskins, man they turn out nice that way, he has even managed to get my little sister interested in doing them that way. Nothing better than a pair of wool lined moccasins for the winter
