Carved oak leaf gun belt

Recommended Posts

10oz H&O exterior/  6oz brown fancy Italian veg tan liner. 1mm cream tiger thread with gun metal grey hardware. Dark brown fiebings antiquing. Custom stamp made by leather stamp maker for the belt tip. Keeper is fiebings light brown. Took me a long time to get it finished but I finally shipped it off today.

Nice! I'm getting better at tooling. Not quite there yet though.  Is the custom stamp your logo?

That is very nice. Are the oak leaves freehand or do you have a pattern?

Nice work. Very heavy duty for sure. Did you leave the liner off the bend portion? I know it can get difficult to make that bend with thicker belts. Machine sewn?

Thankyou. And yes I did ill stop the liner right where the belt end meets it after folded. 10oz or thicker plus liner is way to thick. I will skive down the belt end as well from where it bends to the end so it doesn't get to bulky.

THAT is one good looking belt . . . would be proud to wear one like that.

I'd also love to have the pattern . . . it would definitely make a "distinguished" looking pair of suspenders . . . 

May God bless,

Dwight

I agree with Dwight. Excellent belt. Excellent craftsmanship. And I agree it would make an excellent pair suspenders

Yeh, oak leaves & acorns are great. One of my fave patterns to carve, that and roses. I use Al Stohlman patterns, but on rare occasions , I 'try' to do them  free hand. I am getting a little better- ish. 

You done a great job on that :)
