All of the tooling was my own design. The leather is 3-4 oz. veg belly.

Comments or critique is always welcome!

Way to go, Roland! 

I Love it! I'm probably gonna steal it. ;)

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.

Really cool tie.  Is it a clip-on or do you have to tie it like a regular tie?

Looks great! :thumbsup: Hmmm, I wonder...use a thinner leather and cover it with rattlesnake skin...maybe an oval cutout in the middle for the rattle? :rolleyes2:

Thanks guys!

@Rohn It's not a clip-on. You have to tie it.

@JMcC LOL! not everything I make has rattlers in it you know. :)

I have a question for anyone who can help. I oiled this tie a lot to get it flexible enough to tie but think I over-oiled it and it doesn't look like it will dry any time soon. Any suggestions for fixing this so my shirts don't get oil around the collar?

Thanks!

There are a few threads here about trying to remove excess oil.  Suggestions have been to bury it in cornstarch, floor dry, kitty litter, etc. to absorb the oil.  Need to stir it around a few times a day, may take several days.  I haven't seen the results from anyone that posted the question.

I never thought about a tie before. Your tooling looks really good and so does the stitching. I think @Northmount covered all the stuff I've seen lately about oil removal. Really cool idea and great craftsmanship @Rolandranch!

That looks awesome well done once again. 

Set it in front of a fan the airflow should help to dry it out, another option is to build a hot box (bulb inside of a box, I would put a divider in it to keep direct light off it). I use the fan method all the time for speeding up dye and finish.
