Thanks for the kind words everyone... As for the boot incorperation that was my wife's creativity and she chose the oldest pair I have. Thanks again.

Sorry here is a better picture of the Knife Sheath.

Howdy, I'm fairly new and this is my first posting of a completed project. This is the First Floral Belt that I've completed. Its hand tooled and stitched, all in all about 12hrs of work time. I also made the knife sheath. Hope ya'll like it my buddy John (the recipient) surly did. Please let me know what ya'll think, all criticism welcomed this is just a hobby for me. Thanks, AJ

Those are amazing!!! You truly have a gift. Where do you buy your hardware, those buckles are a nice touch.

Rick, Thanks for the advice, I didn't think about the leather absorbance. I will have to get some latigo or harness leather for the backing considering I'm close to completion on the frontside. V/R, AJ

Thank you cgleather for the advice, will double up for sure. The pic looks great! did you make it?

How Ya'll doing? I'm new to the sight as well as leather working. I'm making a Tripping Collar for my brother who team ropes and i know some of ya'll might say well then y not make a breast collar. He prefers the tripping collar for whatever reason. I have 2 pieces of saddle skirting about 1/8" thick, I picked up at Tandy's. Should I double up on the leather or do ya'll think a single piece will suffice? The tripping collar will be 5"s at its widest point and tapper to 3 1/2"s. I would appreciate any help/ comments I can get. Thank you in advance for you assistance. Very Respectfully, AJ
