few pictures of another belt I did

[BruceGibson]

Here's a few pictures of another belt I did. This is another dual-layer Hermann Oak, 1-1/2" wide in Cherry (Black Cherry) with an old standard cross-cut pattern and camo border stamp and white stitching. The edges are burnished, then painted, then burnished again and waxed...and yes, more burnishing.

I'm still too limited to actually post real pictures so here's another one of those links I'm becoming famous for:

Thank you, Dave! This one is just swivel-knife cuts and a camo border stamp. Strangely enough, it's one heck of a popular combination.

I appreciate the kind words!

Bruce,

Belts are simply great. What machine did you use to sew those belts?

Thank you, Regis. The machine I use primarily is an Artisan Toro 4000P. If you'd like to take a look at some of their offerings, the website is www.artisansew.com. Dusty Johnson directed me to these folks awhile back, and I've been real impressed with them. The two gentleman that run the show are Jerry and Steve.

The thread (cord) I use on my gunbelts is heavier than necessary for the application, but it's a design element here, so "standing out" was one of my goals. The topside is 346 and the bobbin thread is a step-down at 277.
