Chief31794 Posted November 7, 2016 Report Posted November 7, 2016 Genuine Gator (still has the hunting tag attached to the skins). Whoever tanned and finished this material did a great job, most of it is usable and feels like butter, cuts well and really easy to work with. I have 4 skins in the shop and three are like this one, the other not so much, stiff, hard to cut, very little usable. A good tannery/finisher is imperative for working with this stuff. Interior is glazed pigskin, and a faille cloth liner on the wallet back. Chief Quote "Life's too short to carry ugly leather"
bikermutt07 Posted November 7, 2016 Report Posted November 7, 2016 Nice job. Quote I'm not paying 80 bucks for a belt!!! It's a strip of leather. How hard could it be? 4 years and 3 grand later.... I have a belt I can finally live with. Stitching is like gravy, it's only great if you make it every day. From Texas but in Bossier City, Louisiana.
Contributing Member Bob Blea Posted November 11, 2016 Contributing Member Report Posted November 11, 2016 Really nice looking Chief! I'm working on a similar one except I am using some embossed cowhide scrap that I picked up. Your looks much better. Quote There are always possibilities....

I got three of these hides from a guy who had killed them and then had them tanned and whomever he had tan them knew what they were doing, they're like butter and look really good.
