A couple of new belts...

[hidepounder]

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!

Great looking belts Bob. I especially like the first one. I love the flower and that's a great flower center. Really nice.

Man, those look great! What did you use for the background, if you don't mind my asking?

Thanks leather1214,

I trace the center line so that the main cuts are all fairly uniform in size...the rest of the cuts are freehand.

Thanks Josh!

They're not masterpieces, but I appreciate you saying so!

Thanks Troy,

I really appreciate your comments. I wanted a flower that kind of fit the Sheridan mold that didn't take so long to cut. Flower center is Barry's.

Thanks Nick,

The background is done with a set of Barry Kings #25 bargrounders.
