bikermutt07 Posted January 1, 2018 Report Posted January 1, 2018 Great 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.
alpha2 Posted January 1, 2018 Report Posted January 1, 2018 40' of Roo! That's a lot of lacing. Nice piece! Quote So much leather...so little time.

Members Waranafella Posted January 1, 2018 Members Report Posted January 1, 2018 Looks good. Was the lettering done by hand? It is challenging to do lettering that small and remain readable, good job. Quote

I select a print type that I like from word, print it out, adjust the size a bit if needed, trace it on to the leather then either use a stylis or modelling spoon to get the depth right Quote
