Members seagiant Posted March 27, 2017 Members Report Posted March 27, 2017 Hi, Finished this stamped hand sewn leather belt. Only used 2 stamps! This is a peice of HO 9/10 oz. veg tan leather and a solid brass buckle! Quote
Members battlemunky Posted March 27, 2017 Members Report Posted March 27, 2017 Yep, ditto, lovely. Quote
Members seagiant Posted March 28, 2017 Author Members Report Posted March 28, 2017 Hi, Thanks fellas, I'm improving! Got my stamping deeper and got an edge guide for my swivel knife to cut the border! Makes for a better "organized" fence for the border stamp I think!!! Quote
Members robbied Posted March 28, 2017 Members Report Posted March 28, 2017 That certainly looks the business! Quote
Members Sofaspud Posted March 28, 2017 Members Report Posted March 28, 2017 Your stamping is beutifully defined and perfectly symmetrical. I really like the detail work at the tip. Best of all is the color and the finish. It has a kind of patina to it that makes it look like it has been worn for years and lovingly cared for. Just one small detail - you might want to dab a little dye inside the holes. I have made a lot of belts over the years, some that I am very proud of. I'll trade any of them for that one. You should be proud. Quote
Members seagiant Posted March 28, 2017 Author Members Report Posted March 28, 2017 Hi, Thanks for the kind words! These belts are funny. With the top of the line material there is about $30 spent before the work is even started! Admittedly you can buy an embossed belt for that amount. But, I'll have to say it does not come close to this belt in looks or pride of ownership. I so far have not tried to sale any of my belts... Prefering to make them for presents to friends and family!!! Quote
Members CraftyNick Posted March 29, 2017 Members Report Posted March 29, 2017 Really nice looking work! Did you apply any kind of finish to it? Quote
