    Now that is one nice looking belt!

    Any chance of you making one commercially for a fellow XMarker?

    Great belt. I love the design, and the look with the elk hide.

    What did you use to glue the elk hide to the cow hide? (I am just starting to learn leather work)

    That is a very fine, distinctive belt.
    Now we need to see it with a kilt!

    Best wishes,

    Interesting design - definitely not mainstream. Can we see it on a kilt?

    That's a right clever design, and (as discussed not long ago in another thread) would work well for a Jedi belt, as well.

    Rubber cement. I use Elmer's , I find it is the same as is sold by Tandy but cheaper.

    Sorry, Age and arthritis prevent me for doing any of this except for my own pleasure
