Bridle leather belt

[Toadflax]

It's been a while since I posted any pictures of my leatherwork, but my camera work is improving, and this picture turned out really nicely.


It's one of my bridle leather belts, made with oak-bark tanned leather from the last remaining traditional tannery left in England (http://www.jfjbaker.co.uk/), and I'm now using brass buckles from the last remaining brass buckle foundry, which are all cast by hand using traditional methods.


I was totting up the sales recently and reckon I must have made near 100 of these belts in the last three years. That's a lot of edge burnishing!

Thanks for looking

Pure class! I can just see a piece of well-burnished English Walnut hanging from that...................

The nearest I could do. Another bridle leather belt 'hot off the press', in a setting that I think complements it very nicely: a Victorian walnut veneer writing slope, and Edwardian English made pocket watch, one of the last watches made by the Lancashire Watch Company.
