Wes Nelson Report post Posted January 29, 2012 Found this belt photo on the internet, I i really like it. Maybe someone even knows who made it? But my question is, What is the finishing process, if anyone knows or has some ideas on it? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

But my question is, What is the finishing process, if anyone knows or has some ideas on it? i could be wrong, but it looks like a natural finish, then antiqued, do your carving, oil, no dye or stain, finish(resolene, or whatever you prefer), antique, finish again.

King's X Report post Posted January 30, 2012 I agree with Randypants.....it is a natural finish. But, just FYI Clear Lac or Neat Lac will give you the same results without an antique paste. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mongo Report post Posted February 7, 2012 I also agree with Randypants. Also, some holster makers leave their work out in the sun for a day or two after applying either neatsfoot oil or extra virgin olive oil, before applying a leather finish. Leaving the leather in the sun will darken the leather a little more. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
