Since everyone is saying nice things, I'll just say not bad....lol

Josh...

That's a very sweet looking belt. Very nice work on the braiding, stitching, edging, finishing etc.

The only thing that I would do differently is to terminate the braiding guide channels at the braid start/stop points or do something with them... stitch down the channels or run some lace or whatever. I think that they detract from the belt as simply naked straight cuts.

The guide lines might have been part of the concept. I just felt that they were something waiting to be finished. But I like it a lot anyways.

Thanks Bree

I see were your coming from the lines and in hind sight I would have stitched them, but they were done as part of the design after the lacing was done and they were not me just runing a line all the way down the belt, You

Know I had fought with the idea of stitching them but I didn't. Thanks for the input always glad to get it

YW Josh. It is beautifully stitched... very close to the edge but not too close. I guess I was eager to see more!! LOL!

That is a very nice looking belt for sure. Dont mind me asking but did you run both thickness leathers thru the belt end or did you end the lining somewhere, skiv them down or something.

Just wondering because I finished my first belt and did it with 8oz on the outside and about 3/4oz on the inside but ended the lining before the buckle setup. Not sure if I really like that too much.

I used 5/6 oz on the outside and the same on the inside it goes all the way through but i skive it down to 7/8 oz combined thickness were the buckle goes hope this helps and good luck man.
