Rawhide Report post Posted April 14, 2008 Peter gave me permission to post this for your viewing. Marlon ...Hello, ...here is a blue, 1 1/4" belt (tapered to 3/4") just completed. This is filigreed (with raised filler) and has green snakeskin as a background. Again (and I don't know why), scroll cuts were requested for the back of the belt. It is laced with kangaroo, dyed blue. Peter Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

anne newkold Report post Posted April 14, 2008 The scroll work in the insides of belts is something you will find that a lot of the Master Leather Artist do as a finishing touch to their belts. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

TwinOaks Report post Posted April 15, 2008 I hope I'm not missing something and misspeaking here, but....with the scroll work on the inside of the belt, doesn't that make it reversable? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

ArtS Report post Posted April 15, 2008 It isn't reversible. It might be if he had used Chicago screws instead of snaps. It helps keep the belt from slipping, but mostly it's for looks. ArtS Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

kseidel Report post Posted April 16, 2008 Carving the lining on the inside of a belt makes the belt more flexible. I thought of it as purely decorative for years, then discovered that one could make a thicker belt with a carved lining wear as comfortable as a thin one.
