Kfd518 Report post Posted September 17 (edited) So I found this buckle and have a friend wanting a couple of ranger belts made. He wants a gun belt and a regular pants belt. I messed up the pattern in a couple of spots. There is certainly plenty of room for improvement. Horween soft rolled horse butt main body, Sepici cognac bridle with the pasted back sanded off liner. Texas prison made buckle I sourced second hand. background is walnut pro dye and the rest is saddle tan pro dye. Bag kote finish with kiwi cream buffed on top. Carving pattern by Don Gonzales. Full belt Edited September 17 by Kfd518 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Brokenolmarine Report post Posted September 17 Looks good to me, especially if you haven't carved a belt in over a decade. I keep saying I'm going too, but waiting for my weight loss to bottom out. Down 40 so far... That my be it. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Kfd518 Report post Posted September 17 Thank you. Sounds like good progress. Don’t know where you were or what your end goal is. Make a blank and start tooling it and have something to look forward to finishing and wearing when you hit your goal. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

You can buy them from the Texas prison museum website.Go to the gift shop > metal> buckles. I have a custom I’m waiting for from them, the lockdown after someone escaped back in September slowed that order down quite a bit. This one is a 4102 that I found pre owned with no keepers or tips. I don’t personally use those parts most of the time anyways so it worked out well for me. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
