    much appreciated takin the time to illustrate it butch!!...i'm sure it will help others as well with that border...its a really cool border to use...and i've been meaning to...but then i think about how i'm going to calculate the distance so it all fits clean and i go...ahhhhhh hell maybe next time lol

    but ya, makes perfect sense to do the corners/spades first...cuz if you screw those up...its gonna be very obvious...where on the others if the squiggle line is a little thicker or thinner than the next when your coming towards the end...not so noticable...then keep in mind to find a proper end point that possibly a strap may be stitched on top as well etc...

    28.00 is very reasonable...if it were a cuff with that amount of quality stamping, a bit of braid etc...it would be on par imo...just cuz its a coffee wrap...doesn't matter...cheapskates are just that...if i know i did a good job on a piece & someone thinks "less" of it...i don't want them to own the dang thing anyways tongue.gif

    i do believe that those that are willing to pay more for a quality item...will inturn value it more...and rightly so ;0)

    good job on it kate!!

    i usually call those a "redue"...but if its just for you personally, then do which ever you feel comfortable with if your not going to scrap it out...but with leather its pretty much whats done, is done...never look right either way...

    myself personally, even if its for just me...if people/public may see it...i want it to look clean & purdy, neva know where a sale may come...and thats your example in hand...so i'd completely redue the whole thing...

    i thinks over all it looks cool man & ya captured what you were invisioning, nice rustic look...my only suggestion would be with the studs...i'd use the punch that is just slightly smaller then the head of them...then cut a slit in each centered...that goes towards the center of the cuff like 3/8th or so...wish i had a picture to show ya...but this method the holes won't stretch where it won't stay on...they'll fit snug & hold fast...the way you have it as is...i can see a problem that possibly now or later with stretch, they may want to pop off...hope that makes sense...

    anyhoo good job noah!!

    you might get alot of answers...so heres another...bick 4 is excellent product and very safe/worry free to use...won't darken the leather if thats an issue for ya...cuz some of the others will for sure...one of the few recommended for ostrich which is touchy stuff and i've tested it on it and worked perfectly...

    i really dig how ya wrapped the floral around the borders like that, very cool belt!!...i know that lining a keeper is somewhat pointless in a sense, even though i do it as well... but i think it adds a bit of professionalism, one of those "its all in the details" kinda things...clean & purdy ;0)

    only critique for ya today is, maybe work on those edges just a wee bit more, lookin sorta rough 'der bob :rofl:

    darryl :cheers:
