wood Report post Posted January 21, 2008 These are some belts I did for my brother's kids for Christmas. Nothing major, just something to hold their pants up. Comments, critique always welcome. I also put some pics up in the saddle maker gallery of some fenders I did. Check them out and let me know what you think. Later Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

craftsman827 Report post Posted January 22, 2008 Very NICE Wood ! Where did you get the pattern for the belt ? Is it a craftaid, from a book, or one of your own. I would love to carve one for myself. Yours Looks GREAT !!! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

wood Report post Posted January 22, 2008 Thanks for the replys. The pattern on the top two a buddy of mine and I worked up a while back and the brown one is just a repeating oak leaf back to back with no stem work. I did the letters on the top ones by just cutting them in with a swivel knife, beveling down a little with a small beveler I made and matting down with a small background tool. It's a craftool, I'd have to go look at it to get the number, I'll get it later. I do a lot of lettering that way, I think it turns out pretty clean looking. The top ones just have a little neatsfoot oil and then Neat-lac. The brown one is oil dyed and neat-lac. I usually do 1 1/2" belts but these were for kids so I made them a bit thinner. They were around 1 1/4" I think. Thanks again. Later, Randy Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
