I been working on a belt for my Pastor. The actual buckle will not be in till Thursday or so. Hopefully I can get side two done before it gets here. This belt is a 1 1/2 inch width and 46 inches long. Whew!

Nice! Modified basket weave?? How do you find it for wear with the braiding around the edges - what I mean is does the braid itself hold up well or might there be some wear issues in the lonnnnng term?

Always amazes me how even some of you folks can get braiding done thumbsup.gif

I wont know about the wearing in part until I have it done and my Pastor has it around his waste. Then I'll check on it in 6 months to see where it is and how it is wearing in. I still have side two to do yet. But it's getting there. It's not a modified basket weave, or the mexican basket weave. It's a 1 to 7 Fast Back Edge braid modified from Ron Edwards original 1 to 8 with compressed ending of a 1 to 5 that I got from my friend Enrique Capone. My braiding mentor wrote the article on the 1 to 7 in the whip makers association publication about a couple of years ago. I got one of the original prints from my mentor.
