Hi again,

the pictures is the belt i made for me. It is a themed belt.

I sold car and heavy over road truck- farm equipment and marine

and industral parts for over 40 years for two different companys.

I needed a belt and well what better way than to show off

why i do not work anymore. I know that it shows a lot of goofs

But who ever gets that close to notice while i am wearing it

will get real good " Cracker " education.

any way Thanks as always for looking qnd yes you alll can

zoom in on it. I am here and you all are there and friends

Joe

You might want to review some of the posts regarding the basket weavestamp. Typically you alternate the stamp to leave an unstamped space. Typically you do not stamp all the way to the edge of the leather but rather stamp up to a line and either use a camoflague stamp (sunburst) or other stamp to hide the partial stamps that butt up against the edge. Always fun to make something for yourself, particularly that has a meaning or history behind the carving and stamping.

Thanks for input,

I thought about both the edge and spacing. I do like the longer weave. I did the tight weave to hide bad tooling (dull knife}
