Vinegarooned Belt

[NoahL]

Hello everyone,

I just finished this belt for a customer out of 8-9oz horsehide, blackened with "vinegaroon" (ferric acetate), heavily oiled with extra virgin olive oil, and given a light coat of Leather Balm with Atom Wax.

Thanks for looking!

Nicely done, looks like the horse hide takes to the vinegaroon pretty good.

That's a GOOD photo of a CLEAN belt. NICE. One suggestion, when you're taking pictures like this (which I really like), wipe the smudge from the buckle (note signature)

Aw, crap! The sad part is that I did wipe all the smudges off that buckle--I must've readjusted it after doing that and my greasy fingers did it. Do'h! Thanks, though, haha

Very sharp looking!

How does the horsehide come to you... is it fairly dry or are there any noticeable waxes/oils stuffed into it? (hope that question makes sense)

Indeed thats a very nice clean looking belt.

Well done

Thank you! The horsehide is untreated veg-tan, so it doesn't have any waxes or oils in it, but it is very dense by nature, so it is tough to get it to take dye (and vinegaroon, even) evenly.

Indeed thats a very nice clean looking belt.

Well done

Thanks!
