Black Bushcraft Belt

[craeg]

Hiya

Finished this belt this morning. Made from veg-tan 4mm shoulder. Dyed black, hand saddle stitched with bees waxed natural linen (18/3), burnished edges and Edge Koted. Waxed with carnauba then finished with RM Williams Saddle Dressing, gives it a nice rich finish
The keeper and the belt had a nice line cut along them for decoration and the buckle is solid brass.
I also stamped my maker's mark to finish.

Comments most welcome

Cheers Craeg

Looks good dude, Still don't know why you don't get your makership up an running, any reason why you didn't dye the inside? does the rough side not take a dye to well?

I made one in the past with the whole belt dyed and I found that the dye did rub off onto the trouser (cream chinos ) but it does dye fine, it's just my personal choice really

I will get my makers thing set up eventually too.

Thanks mate.

Ha, same here. I was think "Here we go, that'll get some folks' backs up."

Nice belt by the way.

Thought the Bushcraft Black Belt must involve getting Bambi onto the barbie just by will-power and a hard stare...
or some such thing.
