    Curious about the actual process of the inlay. Did you shave the hair from the area around the inlay to facilitate gluing? Or just sandwich it in? Also did you trim the hair or was it already just this short? Love the look !!! I have just started working with some hair on hides I have but have not tried an inlay yet. TIA Kelly

    Where do you get your leather? I ask because when I started out and got all my leather from Tandy, I had a terrible time with inconsistencies in dyeing and finishing. I have since found a local saddle maker that will sell me Herman Oak dudes at a reasonable price , and most of my troubles went away. Still no expert, but didn’t need to be handicapped with poor product to start with. No knock on Tandy, but not all leather is equal. Kelly

    Really like the look! My only thing is that I prefer having the burr of rivets on back but this looks great!

    Thanks never thought of shoe polish. Worry that it will color everything not just the highlights I’m looking for, will give it a try.

    Thank you for the kind words. Here is a closer look at the front. Still not thrilled with scrolls and a few other details.

    Thanks I never thought about Lexol. Does it take off TanKote and antique?

    Thanks everyone. I knew I was using the antique to try and accomplish a look it wasn’t quite designed to do, but want highlight the barbwire. Any suggestions without having to paint each line and center? I tried using dye in each center on a practice piece but it bled into the wire. Thanks for all thoughts and suggestions. Kelly

    I made this belt as a shoulder strap for a computer bag. Herman Oak, oil, 1 coat TanKote, Fiebings Mahogany antique, 2 coats TanKote. When I folded/bent the belt the antique flaked out of the center of the wire as you can see in the buckle. Continued all up the belt. Any suggestions? I really liked the look and recognize it he antique was pretty thick in centers but hoped it would hold. Thank for any suggestions. Kelly
