Sanford Belt – half a Scrapper
My normal Scrapper belt is a three piece affair with a buckle end, a billet end and a back piece…very fancy, and a bit complicated, requiring skiving, gluing and some odd sewing. I made Bill’s belt a half a Scrapper with only two pieces, simplifying matters and giving him something deceivingly simple and unique.
Color can be half the story when it comes to a piece of custom leather. I love this color, saddle tan with a kind of Carmel, with a bit of honey. A light touch with the dye and antiquing is required to pull this off smoothly and consistently over the piece. Bill was a happy guy when he got his “half-a-scrapper” belt.
