Leather Belt with Hand Forged Belt Buckle


This belt went to my Father-in-Law for Father's Day....
we were just a little late getting it to him....
Hit a couple of snags along the way.
My husband decided to try to blacksmith the belt buckle...
I think it turned out really cool...
I love that you can see all the hammer marks and that it has all that texture....
Then he added it to a leather belt that he finished with Tan dye and finishing wax. 
The buckle gets handstitched on with some waxed linen thread....
I think his Dad was really surprised by it and liked it alot...
Not sure if we'll offer this on Etsy or not....
But I made my husband model it anyways and for those of you who know him well you'll get a kick out of that--
