Beautiful work!  Love that color combination!  Looking to make my first belt within the coming weeks.

I like it. I like the combination of basket weave and floral carving.

 My only suggestion would be to change your border or use a slightly smaller flower. It looks like it compromised your stitching just a little. (Machine stitched I assume right?)

That said, I think you did an awesome job. Tooling looks good and clean. The colors nice, and I like the initial on the billet. Good work.

Thanks yea I was pleased with the color outcome , I used a wicket and Craig piece of russet 10/12 oz  so it had a little more gold tiny to it to begin then I light oiled , then used angelus mahogany around border then Sheridan brown antique , combined very nicely

I like the design, colors, and the flower center as well.  

This one may have impacted the stitching area, but I really like when a patter "flows over" the edge border.  IT seems to intensify the 3D effect.
