Members dhaverstick Posted July 6 Members Report Posted July 6 (edited) I hadn't made any belts before so I had a couple of false starts before I got a process down that worked for me. Below are the two belts I've finished so far. Both have a vegetable-tanned cowhide backing and a cape buffalo facing. The trim along the edges is lambskin and I sewed the brown one down with artificial sinew and the other one down with D97 bowstring material. I bought the buckle sets off Etsy. I was pretty happy with how they turned out. Darren Edited July 8 by Northmount Downloaded files from imgur and uploaded here Quote
Members DieselTech Posted July 6 Members Report Posted July 6 Nice work! Them are very classy looking. Love that stitch work. Quote
AlZilla Posted July 6 Report Posted July 6 Yep, that is a lot of work. Very nice work, too. You would be doing all of humanity a favor if you uploaded your images directly here. Unless you plan on leaving them on that 3rd party site for all of eternity and saddling your descendants with maintaining them in perpetuity, they'll disappear at some point in time. Imagine how disappointed someone is going to be 400 years from now, not knowing what that ancient belt looked like ...
