hidepounder Posted January 21, 2009 Report Posted January 21, 2009 Marlon...great job on the belt! I love that you lined it and then decorated the inside...gives it a very professional look. I like the "Peter Main" look too. The buckstitching looks great, also, which I never imagined I would say to anyone, as I still have nightmares about buckstitching everything, from the sixties and seventies! LOL Nice job! Bob Quote

LOL Nice job!Bob Well Bob, since I was born in the seventies and love sixties and seventies music....I guess this is a fitting belt for me . I always get "You're the oldest young man I know!!" Thanks for the compliments. I think I could have done a better job on the interior, but I think it looks a little better online than in hand. Anywho....Thanks Quote Marlon
Members Tina Posted January 21, 2009 Members Report Posted January 21, 2009 Don't get to down on yourself Marlon, the belt is beautiful:-) I really like the details, buckstitching, the inside carving and all...I can see where the inspiration comes from, just go for it Quote "He who works with his hands is a laborer.

Members Hilborne Posted January 21, 2009 Members Report Posted January 21, 2009 Marlon, Nice looking belt. I like the buckstitching. You said you used thin rawhide, is this something store bought, or did you cut it? I have some rawhide lacing I bought from Tandy, but it's way to thick for what I wanted for. Andy Quote

It is paper thin already, so it didn't need thining. I did pull it through some Fiebing's 4-way care (same as Lexol), and coated it with parafin wax. Quote Marlon
Ambassador pete Posted January 21, 2009 Ambassador Report Posted January 21, 2009 really nice work- as usual! What is the total thickness of the belt? pete Quote
ETW Grumpy Posted January 21, 2009 Report Posted January 21, 2009 That's a belt to be proud of. Your stitching is very good, inside and out. That's something I still have trouble with. Your work is top notch. Quote
Members TroyS Posted January 21, 2009 Members Report Posted January 21, 2009 Not much else can be said other than WOW! It's spectacular Marlon. Quote Troy
Members TrooperChuck Posted January 21, 2009 Members Report Posted January 21, 2009 Awesome belt, Marlon! I've never tried buckstitching, but now I want to give it a try. Quote "Courage is being scared to death, but saddling up anyway." (John Wayne)
