IngleGunLeather Report post Posted December 1, 2012 Howdy folks. Thought I'd post a few pics of the 1-1/2 inch gun belt I just finished. This is the first 1-1/2 inch belt I've done. My only other belts consist of a 2-1/2" gun fighter belt and a single buscadero. Anyway, this one is constructed of two 6/7 oz. layers of Hermann Oak B-grade leather.

Bluesman Report post Posted December 1, 2012 (edited) Wonderful job. This stitching is very good. I also like the color layout and buckle combo. Great job all around. Hoe do you get such nice straight edging of the black against the tan? Edited December 1, 2012 by Bluesman Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

IngleGunLeather Report post Posted December 1, 2012 (edited) Thank you very much bluesman. I owe the stitching credit to my Cobra Class 4, but thank you. First time I did something that was two-toned and not dyeing it a solid color. A little more challenging, but I think I figured out the best way to go for the next one. I love those Jeremiah Watt buckles. He does really good work and his stuff ain't very expensive. Oh, the edge...I propped the belt upon it's side and very carefully applied dye to the edge using a small dauber.

IngleGunLeather Report post Posted December 1, 2012 Good looking belt and buckle. Like the two tone look. David Thanks David. I had seen a few pictures of the two tone prior to starting this one. Not dying the liner is supposed to prevent dye rub-off. I also thought it was appealing to the eye as well. Thanks for the compliment. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I learn something new on every project I do. It's amazing how the basics such as burnishing edges carry over from one project to the next though.

immiketoo Report post Posted December 2, 2012 Excellent looking belt. What finish did you use? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
IngleGunLeather Report post Posted December 2, 2012 Excellent looking belt. What finish did you use? Thank you Mike. I used Fiebing's Carnuba Cream. I think I'm going with Fiebing's Spray Leather Sheen on the next one as rubbing in the carnuba tends to pull too much dye up. Not an issue with black on black items, but it would be terrible if I use a natural or light colored thread. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
