V Posted February 4, 2009 Report Share Posted February 4, 2009 Both for my friend S (VDB) for his amazing Vintage pieces... The Dark brown one is by far my BEST strap I have ever done until now.. It is almost identical to the original vintage ones. The vintage tan is also a great hide but made stitchless to S request but still made the vintage way. Enjoy the many photos.. Check the 'rusty' GPF buckle. my best work so far.. destined to be my new avatar Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

V Posted February 4, 2009 Author Report Share Posted February 4, 2009 http://i125.photobucket.com/albums/p78/Ven...GE/DSC05628.jpg this buckle is incredible! Thanks guys for the kind words... Btw the buckle is not actually rusted. Its a mixture of products to make it look like this Here a photo of a genuine buckle but more heavily true rusted: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
