bikermutt07 Posted May 14, 2017 Report Posted May 14, 2017 That is wonderful. 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.

Members battlemunky Posted May 15, 2017 Members Report Posted May 15, 2017 Man is that nice! Gorgeous even. Just curious since I've seen it on a few saddles on here, and I mean no disrespect, is there a reason not to dye them or is it a customer driven thing? It seems like of the recent saddle pics I've seen they were largely or completely undyed. Not that it looks bad but you'd think with all the colors available that natural would be one of the least chosen options. Unless the customer wants to go after their own story with whatever wear/patina happens to be. Quote

You are one of the few people that I know that actually make their own trees! That has to save you a few 100 I would think! Quote

Members plinkercases Posted May 16, 2017 Members Report Posted May 16, 2017 WOW. do you engrave the silver plates yourself? Also is that real or artificial shearling? hard to tell and I assume real but.... curious is all.
