Hags Report post Posted February 24 Nice! I'm getting better at tooling. Not quite there yet though. Is the custom stamp your logo? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Outfitr Report post Posted February 25 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? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

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. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Dwight Report post Posted February 28 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 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Handstitched Report post Posted February 29 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 HS Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
