Hand carved belt for Mr. Lilly

Mr. Lilly wanted a custom belt with his name hand carved into the back.  This belt rocks...








New life to an old belt

This belt came to Laboda's Leatherworks s at the October Gun Show in Medina, Ohio.  The old brass hardware was solid but the leather was dry and cracked.

After polishing the brass hardware and attaching it to the new custom made leather belt, this piece looked great.

Commemorative belt for a Marine

A proud Marine veteran found Laboda's Leatherworks at the October gun show in Medina, Ohio.  He wanted a custom leather belt to commemorate his service in the Marines.

Going by what he wanted, I made a 1.5"wide, 12-13 oz thick belt that looked great.
