Members chancey77 Posted March 19, 2012 Members Report Posted March 19, 2012 Home run brother! Great First project and you get to enjoy it! NICE! Quote
Members Rohn Posted March 19, 2012 Members Report Posted March 19, 2012 Looks to me like you did an excellent job on that belt! Quote
Ambassador pete Posted March 19, 2012 Ambassador Report Posted March 19, 2012 WOW! I really like it! VERY nice for a first try. The only thing that I would have done would have been to run a groover for the sewing(nice job, by the way) to sit in so as not to pucker the leather around it. Love the color,single rivet,stamp look. Maybe a defined edge so that the basketweave stands out better. Where did you get the buckle set?????? Beautiful.. pete Quote
