    I really like it, I make my own belts as well, I really like the way you have the black edge, and the two natural strips, very well done.

    It looks good. I'm thinking about making my own crossbelt. They're about $100 (on the cheap side) but I can get the metal parts on ebay and the leather from tandy.

    Very nice. I like the custom touches. Distinctive but not overbearing.

    Kilt Belt

    Thanks for the comments,, the only tricky part was using the grooving tool tool to make the lines and it wasn't all that hard I just had to take my time. I'm sure I'll make some more for friends and such...

    That looks like a great belt. Well done.
    I have always tempered my killing with respect for the game pursued. I see the animal not only as a target but as a living creature with more freedom than I will ever have. I take that life if I can, with regret as well as joy, and with the sure knowledge that nature's ways of fang and claw or exposure and starvation are a far crueler fate than I bestow. - Fred Bear
