    I don't see the need for pumice as you said it damages the surface of the leather as for the soap itself I have no idea, I would try saddle soap first.

    But maybe a guy could make each end of the belt replaceable. Such as I have done to this buckle end to add inches to this belt. that would allow any bullet loops or designs to stay centered on the belt as it gets enlarged or shortened.

    your right as usual, my opine is if he wants it now then he wants it to fit now. 8 or 10" inch difference means a completely new belt of any type especially with bullet loops added. I didn't read that large a difference into the mix.

    plus I would make it to fit him as he is now. He may lose weight or he may gain weight but he will be happy with the fit now and if you do have to enlarge a ranger belt it isn't hard to do down the road as Fred said just change the billet.

    if you can get his old belt it probably has his natural curve already wore in to it.

    if you left the strap as thick as the holster you could skive or sand it down a bit on the inside. as Dwight says it will stretch bit naturally more so if thinner.

    I have some antler.

    i use a paint brush for edges also but i use the tip of the handle dipped into the edge paint and laid sideways along the edge of the leather.

    glad you got it figured out. My dogs had/ have food allergies found that out by switching their food one time. they broke out instantly almost with hives, bumps and lumps all over their bodies. it was a test to figure out what they could eat for about a year.

    I had to do some research to see just what the dif is between resin, rosin ,tar or sap also how its made. Rosin is simple to make I'll collect and make a batch next spring, maybe sooner if a I can get to the woods. BTW if you do google rosin be sure to specify pine rosin or you get instruction on marajuana rosin lol i doubt it would work the same.
  20. chuck123wapati
    yup.

    buy or use a 1" wood chisel and use punches for the ends that way you can make any size slot you want until you are sure what size oblongs you want. the chisel cuts really nice slots just punch out the ends and cut the slots withthe chisel.

    i collected about a cup of pine sap last year to make glue as the native Americans did. They melt it and mix it with rabbit pellets. it creates a hot melt glue that they used or many things including attaching their arrow heads. I guess I should have collected more for sewing.

    the nicest thing about it is that it points the same as my 1911.
