A Stitch in Time

Well - I was hoping for a paisley pattern ~

BUT - your design is nice too. Not at all too Western - at least to the eyes of this yankee. Pretty darn nice John.

Double row of the dark gray front row second from the right.

There's something about fresh punched holes.

I guess I've never had a decent belt before, this one is stout and comfortable.

How about two straight rows. Whatever color you have on the outside on this one (tan?) and the dark teal/mallard green on the inside row?

Sounds good Chris, Double Rows with Chestnut Brown on the outside and Forest Green on the inside. Here's a picture with both shades of brown/tan that I have just for comparison.

John, I would like the gunslinger stitch with one color, how about brown, the post before this is that brown on the right or do you have another

Those are the only two shades of brown that I have, the natural/tan on the left and the darker brown on the right in the picture above^

Purple or pink doesn't grab you?


The Natural/tan color really looks nice with leather also. This is the first belt I made (the wifes).

These are really nice. A tan one like this with all black stitching would be pretty elegant. I like the simple buckle too.

My 2¢

My wife loves purple, I don’t mind it but not on my belt
lets do the dark brown

 

[jlauffer]

Think I'd go with straight rows of the chestnut brown

Redmeadow Knives John, I'm right handed

Thanks Frank, I need to finish burnishing and secure the bends for the buckles, they should be done pretty soon.

 

[Redmeadow Knives]

Belts are done other than final conditioning.

We're not going to win any awards for the greatest stitch lines but the construction is spot on. They should last a lifetime.

Glad I invested in this industrial sun rack, it makes a great swing set when not warming belts.

The double row looks great

Thanks Greg, here's another shot.

 

[Texoma]

both belts look great

 

[Redmeadow Knives]

I'll be shipping these out tomorrow around noon. I hope you guys like them and that they fit well!
