CFM tsunkasapa Posted October 7, 2022 CFM Report Posted October 7, 2022 Excellent work! Years ago I put one of my belts in our county fair, and I beat out one of our local saddle makers for 'Judges Choice' and 1st place, so I know how you feel. Quote Hoka Hey! Today, tomorrow, next week, what does it matter?
Members Sheilajeanne Posted October 7, 2022 Members Report Posted October 7, 2022 CONGRATULATIONS!! Great work! Lovely! (And I think I see the 'rookie mistake' - the latch isn't 100% line up with the horseshoe, but no one's going to notice when the latch is closed!) Quote
PastorBob Posted October 7, 2022 Report Posted October 7, 2022 Nicely done. I love how you stretched out the basket weaves. That looks awesome. Quote In God's Grace, Pastor Bob "While we were yet sinners, Christ died for us." - Romans 5:8 www.PastorBobLeather.com YouTube Channel
Members Gezzer Posted October 7, 2022 Members Report Posted October 7, 2022 VERY VERY NICE !!!!! ? is that a seeder used for the border on the basket weave ? Quote
Members AndrewWR Posted October 7, 2022 Members Report Posted October 7, 2022 Y'know, looking at that open bag shot, the age of the leather is working for you. It looks much more genuinely vintage than new leather with an 'antique' finish and everyone knows leather gets better with age: It has that in common with wine, women and songs. Those perfectly straight stitching lines are eye catchers too. Nothing speaks of quality like good stitching. Congratulations on the recognition and commercial success ('cos money beats ribbons.)

Well done, you get the free beer ( or a fruit juice if you don't drink) . Apart from that, the latch is in the way of the image . About half an inch or so lower , it would have cleared it. I underestimated the size of the clasp. But I am very happy with result .BW is always a challenge . On 10/7/2022 at 8:54 PM, chuck123wapati said: That belt design is cool. I love to doodle on leather , see what tool does what, have a play. If I like it, it goes on a project. It also makes the design ' unique' . 21 hours ago, Gezzer said: is that a seeder used for the border on the basket weave Yes. I used a cammo on the outline of the bw , and a seeder to finish off 16 hours ago, AndrewWR said: Those perfectly straight stitching lines are eye catchers too.
