Mutt beat me to it! OOOH, and AWWWWW! for sure. I'm liking that stitching pattern on the buckle fold. I'm going to try that tomorrow for possible inclusion in my repertoire. I usually stitch the full perimeter of the belts, but for when I don't, well, that would just be the cat's meow.

You have to be fast tb beat Mutt! 

About copying the stitching pattern... I think there might be a copyright issue? I should ask the guy I stole it from.

Thanks!

Pretty! I have a belt blank that has been intimidating me for a while that I really need to try and make my own pretty out of.

Those are just awesome, man.  Someone gonna see them and like em.

Then there's the ol "Hey, I see you are wearing that belt I made!  Does it fit ok?" in a room full of folks...

Well, you all have certainly cheered me up to no end. Thank you all for your great comments. Ye are a great bunch of leather workers! Cheers.

Great work! As previously mentioned, you definitely deserve high praise for not getting black dye on the back side of that black belt...that stuff wants to migrate everywhere!

Yes, very nice indeed!  Nice decorative stitching element also.  I appreciate the oval holes.  Round is fine, but that is what you typically see so this gives the belt some degree of separation from the typical right off the bat.

Only problem I see, and it isn't really a problem per se, is the fact that when buckled, your ornate stitching becomes invisible.  So only the owner is going to know it is there.  It is a shame that the public will not see your good work.
