Tooled belt 1st attempt

[SOAR]

A friend at work asked me if I could make him a belt, something that I have never made before. So after I had tried tooling leather recently, took the plunge and ordered some carving tools from Le Prevo.

This is my first attempt at tooling leather, hope you guys like it.

The patern is a mix of waves and a plant design, 4mm veg tanned leather with a Brass buckle, dyed mid brown and finished with Neatsfoot oil.

Hope you like it.
