Never enough time in the day...about 1/3 of the way done. The cartridge loops are laced and black shell cordovan, the chape is horsehide + shell cordovan, the belt itself is black elephant sewn to a 3oz shoulder and folded. The top edge is a bit rough as I have to trim it down about an inch to even it out after lacing all the loops. I have about 15 more loops to do, skive down the end of the chape and hand sew everything up with contrasting Royalwood Irish linen thread.

I have just enough elephant left to make a shotgun belt when this one is done.

Lookin' very, VERY nice there. Love the elephant hide!
Just because you CAN ride the hide off a horse, doesn't mean you should.

That elephant has a nice texture to it. It should look great when finished.
