Very cool buckle. Did you build the buckle yourself, that's something I have no idea how to go about. Which brings up a question I have wondered about, is there anywhere to buy buckles like to engrave?

Thanks
Todd

I totally agree nice job

 

[didyoung]

thanks again....for all the great comments.
you can buy buckle blanks or use a jewlers saw to cut your own.
just drawn a pattern and get to cutting. rio grand sells the swingers and post for the buckles

Indian Jewelers supply has a lot of buckles. They have a website and large catalog. Similar to rio grande, I think the two are related in some way also.

Shawn... I really enjoy looking at your work. It's always a treat for the eye
