Thank you All for the compliments.

Josh, my process is... I dyed the back ground with dark brown, oil with Bee Natural #1 Saddle Oil, then NeatLac. I used a Sheridan Brown antique then final coat of TanKote. The edges, I sanded with a drum sander then applied chocolate brown then NeatLac, then I burnished the edges with a wooden round jig that I made to chuck-up in the drill press.

I like the Bee Natural oil cause it doesn't darken the leather like neatsfoot or olive oils.

Happy tooling

Tim

great looking belt. i do have a question or two though, what did you use for the resist on the belt (neatlac?tankote?) and,is the bee natural saddle oil a paste or liquid? is it a bee's wax&neatsfoot blend? or carnuba? i've been looking for an alternative to neatsfoot and olive oil, how do you like the bee natural stuff? have you used any of their other stuff? , thanks for taking the time...
