Beautiful as always Bob, I really look forward to your posts. Your quality always inspires.

I gotta get back to doing some serious tooling.... soon as I healed up.

Thanks David, I feel the same way about your work! Hurry up and get well so we can see some more of it! Happy Holidays!

Here's a couple belts I just finished. They are tooled on 7-8 oz HO leather, split to approx 5 oz, then lined with 5-6 oz HO. I used Fiebings Cordovan spirit dye and Fiebings Lt Brown antique, then finished with Neat-Lac. They are sewn with Rice #99 white thread at 9 stitches per inch.

The lining is finger carved and finished with Tan-Kote. I designed the three piece buckle set and had it made by Red Bluff Buckles is NM. As always, all comments and critiques ae welcome!

Bobby,

I love those puffed flower centers

Excellent job as always. Do you see any problem with 7/8 oz lined with 3/4 oz "finger carved" ?
